2005 Cadillac XLR

Description

Style, power, luxury... and now affordability - this 2005 Cadillac XLR is the hardtop convertible that offers you a multi-valve Northstar V8, a terrific grand touring suspension, and an opulent interior with leather and A/C. So it's everything you want, and you can have it all 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 body serve to highlight the long shape with a hint of sporty wedge in the profile. And we like the options that this example gives you because it's at a crossroads. The finish has a nice shine to look good on a car you can drive and enjoy without getting nervous about the rain on the paint. Or if you're looking to have an extra-sharp Caddy convertible, the value price means you still have room in your budget to restore the black to a miles-deep piano-like luster. And no matter your plans, the fundamentals are good, including the clean look of the 18-inch wheels.

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. Because you're going to be open to the world, Cadillac made sure you had something to show off inside. The shale interior with black inserts does a nice job of coordinating tones with the exterior. The fit and finish are quite complete with the kind of overall wear that comes with this kind of mileage. You're loaded with all the best features, like power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/ignition, and an AM/FM/CD/XM stereo with satellite navigation and Bose speakers. There's the best in safety with front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes. You even have a head-up display to keep your eyes on the road. Plus, dual-zone automatic climate control and heated seats mean both you and your passenger can individually dial in your level of comfort all year long.

Cadillac's 4.6-liter Northstar V8 is quite a desirable powerhouse. 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 disc brakes 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 a five-speed automatic transmission, power steering, cruise control, and the adjustable magnetic ride suspension.

The Cadillac XLR brought together power and luxury in a way that made it an instant classic. It also means you might never get another chance at such an affordably-priced XLR ever again. Call today!!!
