    XLRs on Ebay

    I checked today for the first time in a long time, and I can report that the prices of XLR's on Ebay are unusually high-- well above "market values." An article in the NYTimes suggested that a recent phenomena has taken hold: that folks with expendable cash are buying and paying more for...

    Need advice

    Am considering the sale of my 2007 Infrared XLR that "sports" an aftermarket "V" mesh grill. It has 31,000 miles on it, and it is in great condition, having been driven by "mature driver"s (I am 73, prior two owners were brothers, both in their 60's). It is used seasonally, and sits out in the...

    Help! Tire ware

    Dear All, My 2007 XLR has run flat tires, and I'm concerned about storing the car for a seven month (winter) period up here in Maine in a heated storage facility where cars don't move. DO I run the risk of damaging the tires? Appreciate your thoughts and advice. Gratefully, James

    I've made arrangements for winter storage up here in coastal Maine... unfortunately heated car storage is entirely "booked," so it will be in an unheated facility. I am seeking your advice about storing the Xlr with chemical dehumidifying chemical packages in the trunk, cabin, and engine...

    Front end bug protector

    I was reminded several days ago, just how messy the front end of a car can be with thousands of dead bugs smashed on the front of my sister-in-law's suv---she and her husband having escaped from the Florida hurricane. Did a bit of research, and note here that clear vinyl appliques that are pre...

    weather proofing

    I suspect that, as is the case with many automotive materials, weather proofing materials around doors, the roof, windows have an inherent service life. What is the best treatment for extending those important, yet often overlooked components? Are there treatments that extend the service life...

    Necessary preventative scheduled maintenance.
