Cadillac Xlr Star Black Edition Modified Custom Restomod Xlr-v Rims Bulgari Nr! on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:140000

Atlantic Beach, Florida, United States

You are bidding on a 2004 Cadillac XLR Star Black Edition.  This is #35 of 200 made.  CEO owned and driven 75 miles daily to and from the office as a trophy car.  Clear title in hand, although the carfax may say there is a lien it is satisfied for this sale. 

This car was originally developed as the EVOQ while under development by General Motors and became the first generation XLR.  Manufactured on the Corvette assembly line, based on a Corvette Frame, with 50th Anniversary Corvette Magnetic Suspension, 5 speed manual shift Corvette Automatic Transmission and a more powerful than normal Northstar VVT 32 Valve Engine, this is the pinnacle American car in my opinion.  This car rivals the technology available in most new cars today,
and uses the same technology and supplier as the Mercedes SL500 & SL600 to achieve the hard top with such light weight and reliability.
 

If you are a shy person, do not purchase this car, because people ask about it every day you drive it.

The A/C is ice cold, heated and cooled seats make it much more comfortable with the top down. 

This car has extensive dealer service records, nearly every component that was known to cause problems in this series of cars has been replaced by GM under warrantee.  Vehicle has been more than regularly serviced always using synthetic oils and top quality parts.

In early 2013 a new pair of driver & passenger seats and center console shifter were installed so the interior looks very fresh.  (At a cost of nearly $8000)  Also later in 2013, at 110,000 miles the transmission and torque converter was overhauled. Then at 122,000 miles, the entire engine was reworked, including the new and improved valve guides added to the rebuilt, ported and polished head as well as new electronic variable valve timing controllers, at a cost of over $5000.     

As you can see from the photos, this is car number 3 in my stable of 13.  I love and care for this car just as I do my Bentley #1, Jaguar #4, Lotus #5, Shelby #6, Ferrari #2 and other toys.  Mileage is at 140,000 but I will keep driving it a few days a week until it sells, because I do love this car!

Factory standard features include:

Keyless Entry with two fobs included in the sale!

Adaptive cruise control.

Adaptive rain sensors.

Heads up display with radio, MPH, trailing distance when adaptive cruise is on and many other heads up features.

Steering wheel controls for Stereo, Cruise Control Gap & Voice Command.

Verbal command unit in steering wheel which includes navigation controls.

6 Disc CD Changer in dash with single disc DVD / CD / NAV player.

In dash navigation, including DVD viewing override, so you can watch movies while driving the car (great for passengers to enjoy, not so good for the driver to do).
 
Dual Zone Climate Control with Cooled and Heated seats for driver and passenger.

42 position electronic adjustable seats for driver and passenger.

TPMS sensors.

Onstar safety system.


Factory upgraded features include:

Bulgari Speedometer and Tachometer Gauges!

REAL WOOD VENEER INTERIOR TRIM, NOT THE PLASTIC USED IN LATER MODELS!

The tail lights and front grille are blacked out, with gun metal colored badges not available through Cadillac any longer.

She is riding on a fresh set of rear tires, and the set of rims are XLR-V factory that have no wear as they are new.

All functions perform as they should.


Non Factory Upgraded Features include:

All LED bright white lighting, including interior, trunk, license plate and doors.

D3 Racing Catalytic Converters installed

D3 Racing ECU Installed

(Google "D3 Cadillac" to see what I am talking about here.)

These D3 upgrades make the car a bit more muscular and responsive, but it is less "tame" at idle and sounds quite a bit more throaty than a standard XLR.


The bad news:

Under the hood, one of the hood mounts is missing so the hood will not stay up on it's own.
The car has several nicks and dings that you would expect given age & mileage. 
There is a scratch on the tourneau cover that is about 1 inch in a triangular pattern.
Next to the driver seat there is a crack in the lateral entry panel trim cover.  This is a cheap plastic part from GM that has broken several times over the years so I am tired of replacing it.  If you are a big guy or gal, you will break this piece entering and leaving the car, if you are thin, you can replace it and it will stay fixed...
Paint is a 9 at 20 feet, a 8 at 10 feet and a 7 close up.
Photos of all major blemishes and scratches have been provided herein.

Thank you for viewing this auction and good luck with your bidding!

2014 Cadillac ELR wears a suave suit with Volt underpants

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

The Cadillac design and engineering teams were smiling like a bunch of proud papas here in Detroit this morning, as the Wreath and Crest crew pulled the curtain back on their 2014 ELR. The house was packed for the ELR's coming out party, and reaction was enthusiastic amongst the murmuring media, as far as we could gather, while the flashes were firing.
In fact, we think that the sleek styling and aggressive proportions of the Voltec-powered ELR looked even better in the metal than they did in the first official images we saw earlier. Further, the leather-lined interior seems custom made for serious driving, even if the ELR is slightly less than rocket-ship quick.
The new Cadillac makes good use of the basic running gear from the Chevrolet Volt, including the 1.4-liter range-extending gas engine, a 15.6-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and an electric drive motor that offers 295 pound-feet of torque, and a total system output of 207 horsepower. All-electric range is down by just one mile versus its Chevrolet forebearer, for a total of 35, and Cadillac speculates that the total range with the gasoline generator figured in will top 300 miles.

Next-gen Cadillac Escalade debuting October 7 in NYC

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Cadillac will unveil the next Escalade in October, at an event in New York City. It will be the sole member of GM's large SUV family to not get a debut at the Texas State Fair, which we don't think is all that surprising, considering the kind of clientele attracted by the big Caddy.
The new truck, from the few teaser images and spy shots we've seen, has evolved with the rest of the Cadillac range. We've got a glimpse of its tall, thin headlights, which look like an evolution of what's on the current truck. Expect some kind of egg-crate grille, reminiscent of the new CTS and ATS, while Cadillac's CUE system should feature heavily in what we hope is a thoroughly revised cabin.
The event takes place on October 7, so check back then for more info on the all-new Escalade.

GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."
