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

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extensive dealer service records, nearly every component that was known to cause problems in this series of cars has been replaced by GM under warrantee.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!

Cadillac ATS Coupe headed for Detroit reveal

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without its two-door models. But the XLR has been discontinued for over four years now, the Elmiraj concept may never see production and the future of the CTS Coupe is still up in the air. That leaves just the ELR, which may not be conventional enough for traditional Cadillac coupe buyers. Fortunately a new coupe is coming along to fill the void.
According to Edmunds, Cadillac will reveal the new ATS coupe just a couple of months from now at the Detroit Auto Show. Expected to mechanically mirror the existing ATS sedan, the new coupe will also more conventionally resemble its four-door counterpart than the CTS, whose coupe version was distinguished by a rakishly sloping roofline.
Expect the same choice of engines to carry over, with a 2.5-liter four serving as the base engine, and both a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6 offering more power for those looking for that extra bit of oomph. Following the Detroit reveal, sources anticipate the ATS coupe to go on sale next summer.

Cadillac XTS to become Opel flagship sedan?

Tue, 24 Jul 2012

According to Auto-News.de, Opel is considering using Cadillac's all-new big sedan, the XTS, as the base for its new flagship car, which would likely carry the name Omega.
WorldCarFans.com speculates that Opel could use GM's 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 that generates 304 horsepower or, possibly, a 2.8-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine that creates 321 horsepower to power the vehicle. The European automaker could even use a 195-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine in this application - fine, since many of Europe's largest sedans are powered by smaller, more efficient engines.
Regardless of power, the Omega could arrive at dealerships by the end of 2013.

GM intends to offer semi-autonomous vehicles by 2020

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Prepare for a few years of technological saber-rattling, as the world's automakers begin pushing to bring self-driving cars to market. Earlier this week, Nissan announced that it aims to offer autonomous vehicles by 2020, while Google, BMW and several other marks are working on similar efforts.
General Motors is doing things differently, though. Rather than push for a fully autonomous car, it's continuing to refine its semi-autonomous Super Cruise, a product that we tested in April 2012 and that will eventually see use on some Cadillacs before trickling down to the rest of the General Motors family. Super Cruise, which is undergoing testing in the Cadillac SRX, doesn't take complete control out of the driver's hands. Rather, under a very specific set of circumstances on the freeway, it will marry the capabilities of things like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control to allow the driver to take their hands off the wheel. All of which sounds a lot like the system Mercedes-Benz is launching on the 2014 S-Class.
The system is still in development, according to John Capp, GM's director of electrical controls and active safety technology. Now that that the biggest hurdle, steering control, has been cleared, GM's engineers can focus on things like teaching the system to adapt to differing road conditions and visibility levels. As we reported in 2012, Super Cruise is still befuddled in low-visibility situations or when road markings aren't particularly clear.
