2004 Cadillac XLR

Description

Style, power, luxury...and now affordability - this 2004 Cadillac XLR is the sophisticated hardtop convertible that offers you everything you want, and you can have it all for a terrific price.

You know this is an instant classic, and so it's exciting to find one that retains a great look and offers an unbeatable 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 sheetmetal 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 Satin Nickel paint really drives home this point with a premium metallic glow. And while no Caddy is complete without chrome, this one is a bit more reserved and saves 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.

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. The value price means there's room left in the budget if you want to do the little things, like recover the steering wheel, but overall, you'll be impressed with the outstanding level of modern luxury. This includes power windows, power locks, keyless entry/ignition, and an AM/FM/CD 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 A/C climate control and heated seats means both you and you passenger can individually dial-in your level of comfort all year long.

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 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, and cruise control.

Complete with owner's manual, you might never get another chance at such an affordably-priced XLR ever again. So if you love a distinct hardtop convertible with plenty of power, don't miss this Caddy. Call today!!!
