Great car. My wife calls it a "Chick Magnet." The only fault the car has is Getting Parts! Once you have the parts, finding someone who knows about the car is a real trip! most mechanics don't want to touch the car. But with all the potential problems, still love the car!

Back in 2015 I bought a 2006 XLR from an estate in Nashville Tennessee. I live in Ohio, and I drove the car to my home in Ohio. I have owned over 156 classic cars in my 86 years. I drove the car just over 3000 miles till 2021. I took the car out for a short drive. When I stopped and shut the engine off, and later tried to drive away, it would only shift into reverse. Something broke in the shifter into the transmission. Had a real hard time getting it to the Cadillac Then I found out that there was no parts available at GM since there were so few of the XLRs built, there were no parts. I along with the dealer we both called all over the country to Cadillac dealers for the part. Finally found one in Florida. I then sold the car to my Cadillac dealer. He has it for a show car on the floor since it is truly one of the finest looking sport cars, but I I will never own another since parts are no where to be found. Not even aftermarket parts since the total production of them was around 2000 cars, and they were produced at the Corvette Plant. The undercarriage is Corvette, and the rest is Cadillac. Parts for the engine would be available since it is a Northstar Engine.

This is a luxury sports car and is a fun car to drive , performance is good and vehicle quality is very good , a few quirks but working through them and loving the car
