The XLR is a 2 passenger roadster introduced by Cadillac in 2003
and was only produced until 2009. They were intended to be a "halo
model" for Cadillac, meaning production numbers were kept low and
they were packed with premium features in an attempt to draw
attention to the brands other offerings. They were also thought of
as a variant of the C6 Corvette which was also being manufactured
out of the Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly plant. Instead of the
LS however they received Cadillac's 4.6L Northstar V8. Being an '08
this car was towards the end of their production and has been very
well maintained. It is the Platinum Edition and comes with a clean
Carfax showing regular maintenance and zero accidents. The car is
all stock and original except for the exhaust which is the system
from the XLR-V by Corsa, the windscreen behind the seats, and the
chrome grill. That aftermarket windscreen is a very nice addition
and makes it very nice to cruise around with the top down. It has
67,239 original miles and is fully loaded with all the latest and
greatest features. It has always been garage kept and has 239 miles
on the most recent oil change. Check out below to see the stock
specifications.
