I fall into that "price was the least important consideration" category. I wanted THIS car since I drove the first one my dealership delivered in 2004. If I were in the buy/sell business I'd probably have a different approach. I can't speak for all, but most of the people on this forum are...

1- There were 311 black/black XLR-V's made in 2006. How many of them are still around in arguably very good condition with less than 50k miles? It took me two years to find the car I wanted and price was not a major factor. Certainly not 10% above what the books says. Which leads me to... 2-...

All due respect I disagree. I think $33,000 is pretty good for a V with that kind of mileage on it. There aren't going to be many out there with under 50,000 miles on them. Not if you want black on black. It is a specialty car so only somebody who really wants it is going to buy it. You might...

I managed to negotiate a Lexus platinum used car warranty for five years/50,000 miles four $5700. Of that I contributed a grand total of $500. The dealer paid the rest. It was a slow Sunday in the hot desert of Bakersfield California! [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome! I too own an '06 XLR V all black. And, like you I studied the market for several years before taking the plunge. My V was a one-owner traded at a Lexus dealer across the street from the Cadillac store he bought it from so I was able to get the entire service history. And, despite my...

I think they're considered 1/2 inch. I ordered these on eBay since they seemed to be the closest match to the OEM clips. 20x Hood Fender Trim Floor Grille Panel Push Fastener Retainer for Cadillac GMC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just today I noticed that I'm missing a couple of the little black push-pin type fasteners that attach my trunk lid liner. Couldn't find a suitable match at my local pep-boys. Anyone know where I can find these without having to schlep to the dealer?

Regarding the heat coming from beneath the console, I installed a thicker plate between the exhaust and the torque tube and it's made a noticeable difference in heat transfer. I did it when I had my Corsa kit installed since that seemed to be the most logical approach. Amazon.com: 1/4" Thick...

Rexster is absolutely correct. Finding a one owner vehicle with verified CARFAX and service history is a plus. It took me two years of serious searching before I found the perfect V. The one thing I would add is budget in a good warranty. I purchased my '06 V from a Lexus dealership and...

This is quite true, assuming you're staying with the stock wheel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went with the 255/40/19 Continental ExtremeContact DW from TireRack (front and rear) and they're a huge improvement over the Pirelli Eufori run-flats it came with. That, coupled with new shocks and upgraded breaks and it handles better than ever! I did invest the money I saved on run-flats...

I have the Corsa kit on my '06 V an it works perfectly. I don't know of any changes between 06/07 that would impede your successful installation. I called Corsa before installing mine because it was not spec'd for the "V". I was told "officially" that they did NOT test it on the V series and...

My friend sent me this in a text. Spotted this morning on Havenhurst Blvd. here in the lovely San Fernando Valley. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That seems to be quite logical. I would add that the "A/C OFF" portion is really shorthand for "compressor off" as all three of the incidents I had seemed to occur when I was looking for heat. Also it corresponds to the "A/C OFF" button on the HVAC module. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should scroll up and reread xlrlist01's post which explains this in clear terms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Replaced thermostat. Hasn't happened since and it's been 3 months / 450 miles or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It happened to me three times in as many months. The first two times it went away within a day or so. The last time it was still on almost a week later when I brought it into the mechanic. I should also mention that the temperature gauge stops working in conjunction with the DIC message. Given...
