Hi.

I am please finally to be a new member...... I was actually readind for the past 3 Years many informations from your concerns and solutions on this site, that has help me to solve many problems on my 2004 XLR, such as the rear trunk refusing to open, the replacement of the defective headlamps and many mores.

The vehicule is an American XLR sold in Vermont, I beleive in june 2004 and sold in Chicoutimi QC ( a snow country ) then sold in Drummondville ( betwen Québec city and Montréal ) and sold to me by a GM dealer of St Hyacinthe for endind in Laval ( north of Montréal ).

Finding an XLR at a reasonnable price and low mileage it is not an easy job, but with many follow up on internet, I got this one and I am very proud of it......this XLR will become a collection car in the coming generations and I plan to keep in fine order for my little son..... as for the preservation of a vintage car.

Enough for now......can I ask you to be patient with my writing as I am a francophone and some time the meaning of the words could mean differently for anglophones,

Happy to be on board

Bonsoir Ian. Congratulations on your XLR! And nice to see you on this Forum. Also, believe me, as an Anglophone member from North of the border, if I could write en Francais as well as you can in English, I would feel proud!

Hi.

Thanks for the welcome.....

The XLR GM flagship had about 35000m ( Not bad for a car of 7 year old then ) and now it has 60,000 miles, it was easy to do the convertion in kilometers via the center information dialogue unit, only the speedometer facia panel remain at 160 (miles) indicating that this is obviously an american version.....Its color is light silver with shale interior like the one use in the GM advertising on TV and in the sales brochures.

At the purchase the engine was running a bit rough, du to the use of low grade fuel for some times, the fuel injectors were than clean (of course by a Cadillac Dealer ) and the 94 octane fuel was use since.... now the engine runs very smooth, with good gas mileage.

What I like the most of this car is, its rocket acceleration in the entries of the autoroutes, what a pleaure to steps on it ( some times ) ...guest....my wife love it.

A please XLR owner.

Hi Ian,

Welcome to The Xlr Site. That's really cool that you are going to hang onto the car and keep it for your Son. I know that if anyone can provide you information whenever needed here, they'd be pleased to do so.

Again, welcome and congrats!

Years go by very quickly and the XLR has to be a collectible roadster for the futur.....Cadillac has not build to many of this type model.....yes I will be pleased to live it to the family when I will be away.

My little son loves car like his grandpa it is a natural to do so.

We actually had a great get-together in Fall of 2013 at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant. You would have really enjoyed it!

Perhaps in the future you can help plan an event in the Nashville area. Several members have expressed a desire to visit the area and enjoy our beautiful XLRs along with the great variety of things to see and do there.
