No worries! Like I said, thanks for the heads up. That 04 "mint" sounded nice. I'll just keep looking. Saw there was a 2007 Platinum liquid amethyst in NJ, but it had sold awhile back. Would've been a short drive for me to go take a look.. Oh well, onward.... John Marcus Sent from my iPad...

Stella, It's a scam - owner in England. Car in TX, not MI as stated. 3rd party financiers, etc., etc. Is Autobytel | New Car Prices, Used Cars for Sale, Auto Prices, Car Pictures and Car Reviews even legit? Pay upfront just to "inspect" the car?? :mad: $22K for a Neiman with only 10,263...

Thanks so much Stella. I'm on this. Will keep you posted. John Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

BTW, That is one SWEET ride! John Marcus

Great info, Thanks very much. I've got some research to do. This site is truly fantastic. What an awesome group of generous folks!!! John Marcus Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well, there's one official Caddy dealership. There are 4 other dealerships within 50 miles that sell Cadillac PLUS a bunch of other makes. But it never occurred to me to contact them and see if they had anything to offer. Thanks much, Busaman!!!! Highly doubt they have any have certified XLR...

Neiman vs Liquid Amethyst Thanks Gray, A few months back I checked with my local Caddy dealer. Their warranty manager didn't have anything to offer me due to the AGE of the car I was considering (an out of town 2004 Neiman Marcus with 6,000 miles). The parts and service manager was not very...

Neiman vs Liquid Amethyst Hi Stella, That's true about the parts and service but being a graphic artist/designer, for me the beautiful XLR is as much about industrial design and color as it it about the mechanics and driving experience. The only way I'd purchase it, is if I got the exact...

Hey GrayToad, Thanks! I thought I read somewhere that most extended warranties are not that great :( (inclusive). Are there one or two out there that are better than the others? Cost? It's great that your 09 is treating you right, with no major issues. We'll see what my future holds. My lust...

Neiman vs Liquid Amethyst SJP, I hear what you're saying. I'm hitting 63 in July. What have I got, 20 years if I'm lucky? I should pull the trigger before I start having a hard time getting in and out one these low beauties. :) Thanks for your comments! John Marcus

Neiman vs Liquid Amethyst Hey Lextoy, Thanks so much for your input. I appreciate the time you took to write. I have considered the Liquid Amythest for the exact reason you mentioned, the 2004's having more issues. Now that I've re-examined that color online, I think that is the way I should...

Hey Tim, Thanks for the encouraging sentiment Tim. BTW, Marcus is my XLR Net user name, not my real last name. But anyway, something tells me that one day I WILL own this most beautiful beast. Would be very interested in learning if there's any way of tracking the rest of the 101 Neimans out...

Thank You. Thanks Rob, Nice to belong to a group with such excellent taste in autos! :) John

Hey guys, My first post and maybe my last. I've been eyeing (and came close to buying) a low mileage, 2004 Neiman Marcus but have never been able to pull the trigger. The repair/maintenance costs have always held me back. Unfortunately, I'm no mechanic and I'm not all that wealthy, so I'm...
