Here's one of the oddest bits of Carfax data I ever ran across. I thought it was weird enough to save a screenshot--attached. Supposedly this XLR hit a parked car in a "minor" accident. Among several areas affected, I was amazed to see the roof included! How you get that involved in a fender...

On a recent visit to Memphis, I went to the Edge Motor Museum and really loved it. It's a small place, but they have some great cars and the staff are super helpful. I'd recommend a visit very highly. See if you can get a tour from Studebaker Bob--he really knows his stuff. Edge Motor Museum

This is a slightly interesting list. I wish I could believe those prices from the dealers in Akron & San Antonio--on the same cars. I'm particularly taken with the Alpine White one that the factory seems to have absent-mindedly painted black! :) One of these is the blue car we saw in an ad...

Does anybody know what Special Coverage N150643 is? It's a recall on a car I'm interested in. I couldn't google up a clear answer.

I've been impressed with how well-kept every one of these cars looks! Well, until now--I'm afraid this one is falling into hooptydom: Poor XLR!

This one is interesting--price, miles, etc. Generally I'm not a fan of Vogue tires, but they seem to look pretty good on this car. 2006 -67,243 miles

I really love that Blue Steel color! Acceptable miles, too. I wish this one was a little bit newer. 05 Blue Steel & Shale Wonder if it would be worth taking a chance on? I think this is the last year before the adaptive lighting came in, so I would think at least headlights would be cheaper.

Well, apparently you are right, mickeytee. Somebody called in and put a deposit on it before I could get there. The dealer said they would let me know if the depositor doesn't follow thru. Oh well--the quest continues!

Ran across one in my own backyard! More than I wanted to pay, but...maybe. It's a brand new listing--I would hope for more pictures soon. Carfax attached to add some context. 09 with 51,154 mi at $23,980 What do we think here?

Accidentally ran across this. I think I'd like to have one of these! If you would too, we need to puff the video as much as we can. You Tuber building dash screen upgrade

I'm surprised that I often see a recall note in these ads. Why in the world would there still be recalls out on cars this old?? Did the owners just not pay attention?

Welcome! I'm somewhat envious that you already have a car--I'm still shopping and deliberating. You can definitely learn a lot from the old hands here! I'm still assimilating it all. BTW, do update your car in the Registry. It's a great way to keep track of the whole XLR fleet. I'm using...

Thanks for the info! I've seen a system that does that somewhere before, i think.

Just musing a little here. This is the cheapest one I can find that's not salvage, etc., and it really doesn't seem bad. I'm tempted to just take a flyer on it. If it proved to be a dog, I could still probably sell it for something, and I wouldn't be out too much. '08 with 114,708 miles at...

Ah, I think I'm with you now! But I don't think I've run across a single one like that. I'd expect that type to be on a rebuilt title, and I haven't seen that anywhere.

Yikes! You ain't kidding, robert.ogden2009. Here's one that's a little pricey: $3,000 headlight! It's funny--right under the thing is an offer to finance through PayPal. Imagine financing a headlight!

I read this over and I think I've got your point now, mickeytee. Is this the kind of car you mean? If it's really all OK except for the front damage, it looks like a good deal. 2009 Platinum Salvage Title Let's see--there's bumper and grille damage as stated (one fog light missing) and I...

This is by far the best price/mileage combination I've seen on one of these. 2008 V 65719mi $34288 Of course, who knows what other issues lie in the background? But that's always the case.

Due to the good advice I've had from the members here, I am shopping for one of the later years, with about 70,000 miles or so, and the fewer previous owners the better. I want to keep the price in the mid or at least not out of the teens, and I do like bright colors or white. However, I might...

Well, yes, there is that. But everybody here has committed themselves to the cause anyway.
