The wait for upgrades is KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! Waiting for refurbished roof top pump from Klaus, chrome rim upgrade, headlight ballast and Xenon Blue Cadillac XLR brake covers.... It's like waiting for Santa to put my GI Joe with the Kung Fu Grip under the Christmas tree. Gettin so bad...
Thanks for the report. Klaus and the crew received my hydraulic pump today for rebuild. My Cadi shop is willing to do the installation. Got chrome rims and custom'd caliper covers coming by the end of the month.. Can you feel my excitement...
Congratulations and welcome fellow XLRian. I bought and joined Dec 31. This is probably the best forum I've been a apart of. No side eye comments or comments that make you feel like an idiot. Rob, Longtall Sally and mickeytee are a wealth of information on the intricacies of this car. The one...

Taken from page 6-5 and 6-6 of the XLR manuel.
Gasoline Octane
Use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane of 91 or higher for best performance. You may also use middle grade or regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, but your vehicle’s acceleration may be slightly...
Agree pure zen. You know you on to something when you pull into the Cadillac dealer and dealer reps stop what they're doin to look at or talk to me bout my XLR.
Good morning sir. I'm a new XLR owner as well. Bought in Dec 2020. This is a GREAT forum, probably the best IMHO. The thing about selling is who your selling to. If it's a dealer or used lot, their in it to make a profit. Selling to a true XLRian, we pretty much know the price ranges vs...
I need two (2) headlight ballast for a 2005 XLR, I know I can go to eBay, but I'd rather put some money in a forum members. I also know that reputation means everything. No one on this forum would risk a bad reputation from selling bad or inoperable parts....
Welcome back anthem. I bought my first Dec 31, 2020. Had several repairs to do and got the call today that I can pick it up. Got two more repairs to do, but I can drive while I'm waiting on those parts. I saw this car when it first came out as a GM employee and fell in love with it. Finally...
Just got off the phone with my Cadi service rep today and my XLR is ready for pickup. Got all but two repairs left, need a ballast for the headlight and a pump for the hard top. They found a module for the roof top (did a function successful test), replaced suspension module and wiring...
Makes sense. Thanks.....

Got a check engine light the day after I purchased my XLR. I had the camshaft position sensors (4) replaced and #2 cylinder misfire fixed. #2 misfire is the only thing that comes up on techs analysis. Replaced the position sensors cause they were leaking based on prebuy inspection. The dealer...
Suggest you look for similar XLR's in the "For Sale" Forum for starters...... Get a true evaluation of any defects, faults or fixes and go from there. Even take it to Carmax, see what they give for it and add about 25 to 45 percent...
Remember the basic convertible is the Northstar V8 engine package. Nothing like the supercharged "V." Good luck with the sensor swap. As mickeytee would say, update us on how that goes for future work arounds....
