2004 Cadillac XLR

Description

Style, power, luxury... and now affordability - this 2004 Cadillac XLR is the low-mileage hardtop convertible that offers you everything you want, including V8 power, a loaded interior, and tasteful upgrades. And you can have it all now for a terrific price.

The XLR was built alongside the Corvette, but the style was very different. Where the Vette wants to coax the wind over the body, the XLR wants to intimidate it out of the way. The sharp line creases in the design serve to highlight the long shape with a hint of sporty wedge in the profile. It has a premium appearance that mixes sophistication and aggression - like an Army commander turned CEO. The factory Light Tarnished Silver Metallic paint really drives home this point with a great metallic glow. It's all part of a well-respected look and well-fitting style that comes on an upper-class vehicle that has averaged less than 3,200 miles annually. And while no Caddy is complete without chrome, this one is a bit more reserved - saving most of it for that large 18-inch alloys. This is a hardtop convertible, and so you get a roof that's part of a form-fitting package that makes this a sleek coupe. But with the touch of a button, it disappears with so little trace that this looks like a roadster. This action is particularly smooth because there was $1,300 spent in 2020 to replace the top's hydraulic pump.

No matter if you enjoy this with the roof on or off, the experience inside is pure Cadillac luxury. Dual leather bucket seats power adjust so that you and your passenger independently decide the ideal individual comfort position. Plus, dual-zone automatic A/C climate control and heated seats mean you both can individually dial-in your level of comfort all year long. There are plenty more modern luxury features like power windows, power locks, keyless entry/ignition, front airbags, side airbags, and a head-up display to keep your eyes on the road. There are some of the right upgrades for better driving enjoyment, like the rear Plexiglas wind blocker that also has a nifty light-up element. And the radio is now an upgraded Sony AM/FM touchscreen unit that runs the Bluetooth, back-up camera, and Bose stereo speakers.

The tidy engine bay showcases Cadillac's Northstar motor. This 4.6-liter V8 is another great reason why this XLR is a true modern classic. With multiple valves and variable valve timing, this knows how to adapt the moment you want extra power - no matter if it's getting up from a stoplight or pushing into triple-digit speeds. Plus, with four-wheel power disc brakes w/ABS, and the Corvette sharing its fully-independent sports suspension, this is a Caddy that can really corner. But more than just a pure performance machine, this is a grand touring Cadillac. That's why you have nice features like cruise control, power steering, and a five-speed automatic transmission.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, two sets of keys, and the stock radio. This is a sharply presented future classic offered at an obtainable price. So if you love distinct hardtop convertibles with plenty of power, don't miss this Caddy. Call today!!!
