In Florida some banks sell extended mechanical warranty plans. You would have to check with your bank to see if they offer this service. I just purchased a mechanical breakdown warranty from TOCO for my 2009 XLR. Full coverage including all of the electrical modules and computers in our cars...

2009 silver, new wheels

Just a suggestion, as a 2009 XLR owner for the past 4 years. Go to your bank and ask about an Extended warranty for your car. You will be replacing gaskets , water pump , Thermostat and in my case timing chains and related parts. Unless you are a mechanic and have the time to work on your car...

Welcome, I am in Wesley Chapel also. Will be showing my 2009 at the car show at Wiregrass Mall Sunday. Had same problem with my shift cable, have trans shop check before dealer.

Any Central or West coast Florida XLR owners interested in showing their cars at car shows? I started showing mine and it's pretty lonely being the only XLR. Corvettes everywhere and lots of Mustangs, people need to see our beautiful cars.

There are foam gaskets surrounding the vent outlets. They have probably disintegrated and with a little moisture have been blowing out. Im sure they are not available for replacement but if you take the face plates off you can make new ones out of cheap foam or just run without them. I had my...
