So I took the XLR to the dealer for some other service work and mentioned this to the tech. He said I need a fuel/air induction service. Can someone tell me what that is and if there is something I can do to resolve this slightly sticky throttle. Dealer wants $159 for this service and said it...

I'm looking to replace the ignition button on my car as it is split down the middle. I'm not very good with things like this so my sense is to take it to the dealer but before I do that I'm wondering how hard this job is - I don't want the dealer to tell me there's 2 hours worth of labor just...

Thanks for the response. I have 15,000 miles on my Michelin Run Flats. At this mileage they become hard and run quite rough (I've had these tires before). The other car has 3,000 miles on Pirelli's (non run flat). Warranty would be the same as I have now. Carfax is excellent on both - it...

I'm not sure myself - what do you think 10,000 miles is worth?

You're not sounding cute. That is what I'm struggling with - is it worth it at all? Color is the same but there are some minor cosmetic differences.

I have an XLR with 44,000 miles. I'm considering trading it for another XLR with only 34,000 miles. Both cars are the same year. Assuming the same or very similar condition how much would you be willing to pay for the lower mileage vehicle, my car and how much cash?

Perhaps you are correct - the spring is firm in relation to the soft shocks. Is this how your car feels, too? Each time I've taken it in to the dealer they always say the shocks are fine. What did you mean about a Vette with a 'tuned suspension'? All Vettes feel this way?

I have the XLR-V sway bar on my car and the cornering is pretty good and flat. The rear has more bounce than I would like over bumps, however. To me it feels like the spring is too soft. The shocks are fine according to the dealer technician.

Thanks for your help. Can anyone tell me if I could just buy an XLR-V rear spring and attach it to stiffen up the suspension? Can't imagine that it wouldn't fit but maybe someone knows better...

So from your posts it does look like there is adjustability both front and rear. Is the adjustability in the rear via part #50 on the attached schematic? Image Detail for - SUSPENSION/REAR;

I have a 2007 base XLR and while I've attached the XLR-V rear sway, the softness of the setup is not to my liking. I'm wondering if any of you guys could point me in the right direction to correct this. Will just lowering the car tighten the suspension up? Do I need to replace the shocks as...

Hi All, I purchased an 07 Xenon Blue XLR in June of this year - love the car! I've noticed on first start up that if I drive away after my typical 1 to 1.5 minutes I seem to get some engine noise, like there is not enough lubrication. This is driving away slowly and not letting the revs go...

It seems there are many XLR's around with very few miles... I'm wondering how an XLR with 37K on the odometer would differ from when it was brand new assuming it has had good care (and most XLR's have I suspect). Any thoughts?

Just wondering the mileage of your vehicles. Does anyone think 37,000 miles is a lot for an 07 XLR? The pricing guides all credit the vehicle for low miles but I'm not so sure this is low mileage when it comes to an XLR - your thoughts?

Jaxsully, I would be interested to hear your take on the the base suspension comparisons - your 2005 XLR prior to the installation of the sway bar vs the 2008 model without the sway bar. From everyones comments I know the sway bar helps, but how do these models compare as delivered from the...

Thanks for the reply. One car I have been considering is an 06 that is out of new car warranty but has about 1.25 years of certified warranty left. The problem is what I do when it expires. Looks like Major Guard is out. I've read on here to not consider 3rd party plans - is that the general...

Thanks for your help... Can anyone tell me how Major Guard works - is it like a certified warranty where no money is exchanged for covered repairs, you simply bring the vehicle in and they fix the problem (assuming the part is covered)? How about 3rd party plans - in these cases does the...

One of the vehicles that I'm looking at is an 06 XLR that is certified, but is currently for sale at a non Cadillac dealer (it previously was listed by a Caddy dealer and therefore retains it's certification). My understanding is that this car is not eligible for Major Guard warranty because...

Well I guess that settles it then. Thanks for everyone's help!

It would be great if someone can verify. The spec sheet is certainly misleading if the base 2008 does not have the bar...
