    Should I keep the original engine?

    NO you should give it to me!!! lol seriously, what all do you still have? did they replace heads and all, or short block. sensors, intake etc?? I would think it would also depend if you have a place to store it, and ability to repair for future use. If you have to hire everything, then likely...

    Which is the best year XLR???

    I have never regretted buying the v. As you said, warranty is warranty, so if the purchase price is not a problem, it makes sense to me to get a v, unless you have no intention of using the power.

    Tire wear

    I bought my car second owner so I can't swear the originals were on it. I can say I changed them at 27,000 miles and the rear were worn out, the front were not as bad, but I got a deal on the full set so changed them all. I am happy with the miles they have lasted. The original pirelli run flats...

    "SLIGHTLY MODIFIED" XLR for sale

    I can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship in those cars. I don't think I would like one if I saw it in person though. I am aware there are people that feel the same about our cars, same as the superbird in the 70's. I guess someone thinks they are an improvement on our cars. :dunno:

    2005 XLR Head Gasket

    My guess is you don't need to drop the engine on xlr anyway, since it is no sideways.

    Can the passenger seat be moved forward to temporarily store things behind it?

    You should be able to get a golf bag back there. I would think if your pictures can fit in that dimension you are good to go.

    OBD codes / down load question

    You seem to have done your homework. I would also add the early models had radiator and headlight problems. I can't tell you how to tell if the radiator has been updated, maybe search can? The headlights get crazed (I think turning yellowish and small crack/lines in the lens. They are very...

    Low oil level indicator

    It sounds like you are not wiping the dipstick off before sticking it back in the tube. It will splash on the stick when running and must be wiped off, then stuck back in the tube and reread at that time. After sitting over night I assume it is running back down the stick and showing true at...
