earlyxlr I have an early 04 XLR..and have had my share of problems, all of them repaired at no cost to me and satifactorily. It is a wonderful and unique car. Top wise I had to get the sensors aligned once shortly after I got the car. Never a top problem since. The biggest problem was oil...

Re read your post Hi.. I see the car is out of GM factory warranty because of age, not mileage.. Things are tough in the automotive sales world. I would talk to your local Cadillac dealer and see what they can do for you.. NEGOTIATE!! and good luck. JIM

GMPP The ONLY warranty that is going to cover most of the car is the GMPP Major Guard. I wouldnt even consider a 3rd party warranty. Mine has already paid off when I had to replace the radiator and Engine Control computer. Several dealers have good pricing. Personally I used Fichner...

The antenna is not very efficient at am frequencies I think it has been fairly well documented on this site and others that the antenna system on the x doesnt work well on the am frequencies. I certainly notice a tremendous difference between the x and the escalade. Also because the x is fiber...

Info concerning top I just returned from my dealership with the following information concerning the GMPP Major Guard plan for the XLR. Per Ken Moore the service advisor at Parkway GM in Valencia Ca I work with: The entire top mechanical assembly and supporting electronics and hydraulics are...

I don't know I do not know for certain if the GMPP Major Guard covers the X top or not. The top was the least of my concerns with the car. I have heard that the mechanicals for the top are covered. But again am not certain. My wife's Escalade is at the dealer. When I pick it up this...

thanks thanks guys

DVD questions does the navigation DVD run constantly? If so is there a danger of scratching? An entertainment DVD belonging to my grandson got so scratched from constant use in his DVD failed and I would like to insure that the nav disk doesnt. If so is it possible to burn a protection copy...

Thanks Pappy Thanks for the favourable comments re: Rydel. I have purchased both cars and warranties from them at competive pricing. Just couldn't get the pricing I wanted on the XLR at the time I bought the GMPP. I have almost 2 years left on the factory warranty on my wifes escalade so I am...

Didnt really answer the question Personally I think you should run the original warranty down to almost nothing before purchasing the extended warranty.. Make sure you purchase before 48 months or 50,000 miles have expired. In my case I had less than 20,000 on the car. the warranty expired in...

what so cal dealer are you working with I tried 3 different dealers in southern california and none of them matched Fichner..And there is no sales tax in Montana..Right there you are saving $97.50 per $1000..I told them all the same thing and I couldnt make a deal locally. Good luck..Post if...

GMPP Do NOT consider anything but the GMPP and take the best plan. I bought mine from Fischner Chevrolet in Laurel Montana. Best price I could find and NO Sales tax. JIM

Weasle wording There seems to be a little weasle wording in the press release about perhaps a restart if the economy improves. I think it is doubful. I have a question for those of you that had Allante's. What happened to the parts supply, warranty etc when the car was orphaned. Could you...

adaptive cruise I wish you could disable the adaptive cruise on the regular xlr. My wife really hates it. I am some what used to it but it can be annoying. On the subject of buying the xlr. I am one of the early purchasers. During the first 5K it lived in the shop, engine, top, headlites...

We should welcome Allen to this forum Allen has been extremely helpful to me in resolving some XLR issues and recently resolving a long time issue with my Escalade. I didn't attend the past couple rendevous but if memory serves me correctly you all were pleased that Allen participated...

Might be the tire monitor indicator Hi RuthAnn, I think you are seeing the tire monitor indicator..Have that symbol on both the xlr and the escalade.. If you ever lose tire pressure it will come on as well as indicate in the dic.. See you next friday.. My brother inlaw and I are going to the...

BBB08 Hi Gang, Have had a few changes in our schedule so here is what we are planning for the Thanksgiving weekend. My wife is not available for any activity on Friday so I am on my own. I plan to drive downtown to the LA car show and leave there in time to meet at the Sportman at 3PM...

Site is great, But I like this forum very much. The only person missing is Allen, Mr XLR, he is really an asset to the XLR community. If we can get him here the old site is toast.
