    These XLR's are really one of the finest Cadillac's in the last 10-15 years. Look and styling is timeless, fine engine, it's not an everybody 's car! -and that makes it desirable - in my opinion, of course. And here in Europe they are very rare!!
    Thanks for showing and Greetings from Austria!
    Take care 👍😎

I think she is just about perfect with that screaming Northstar V8, gorgeous leather and wood interior and those elegant jet fighter lines that still look exotic and rare in 2024.....Jeez Louise...I want one.

      Don't be. The Gen III NorthStar's are Great engines. I've had a 2004 XLR and a 2006 XLR-V and Love them both. Sold the XLR with over 150,000 miles and only had 2 issues with it ... the shocks began to leak at 110,000 and a hydraulic piston for the trunk started leaking at 140,000. I'll never sell the V. Just over 33,000 miles on her now and only had to re-flash the computer at 20,000 miles. Best compromise between luxury and performance ever. ^v^

Im looking to buy something sport luxurious, and am worried about repair bill costs on Euro and german cars.. Japanese are cheap but luxury isnt their strongest point. Americans know how to make luxury just as good as german, even better actually. Anyways thabks for the info bro.. keep up the great work!! No more Cadimak... Its Mackillac...
