Purchasing the Last Cadillac XLR-V

MoreCowbell · 02-11-2009, 12:13 PM

I have the opportunity to purchase the last Cadillac XLR-V that ever roll off the GM line. I can buy it MSRP.

Do you think this could be worth it? Is it a good opportunity?

Blake · 02-11-2009, 12:14 PM

09 cts-v > xlr

that's my two cents

xraymd · 02-11-2009, 12:18 PM

It might retain a little more value than it brethren in the years to come, but I don't think the XLR will ever be considered a classic. If you like the XLR-V, go for it. If you're buying for investement potential, I'd look elsewhere, even at MSRP.

Year's_End · 02-11-2009, 01:41 PM

no no no no no no no. it's ugly. it's not a good value. it's not worth it.

lvwirelessguy · 02-11-2009, 06:39 PM

Not a good idea at all

Scorpion · 02-11-2009, 06:45 PM

It would be nice to say that you got the last one ever made lol.

Heinzftw · 02-11-2009, 06:50 PM

What is the MSRP. 70k?

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn · 02-11-2009, 07:18 PM

Go look at what 05 XLRs are going for. That's what that car's future will be. It's not like the XLR is a limited edition car.

The xlr-v is a 100k car, most were around $105,000.

As others have said, dont buy it.
Buy a ZR1 with that kind of money.

I think it would gain value. I mean its the LAST XLR-V off the line. I mean come on. Cadillac killed the XLR. Who knows if they will venture into the two door/two seater rebadged Vette arena again.

It's my father who's got the right to buy it, not me. He's already got a ZR1.

darkcloud · 02-12-2009, 09:09 AM

The soon to come baby doesn't need an XLR-V

ACZakka325i · 02-12-2009, 09:27 AM

If you already have a ZR-1, please pass on the XLR.

vgame64 · 02-12-2009, 11:00 AM

You just got that 1337 X5, right?...I don't think you need anymore cars.

Plus, I find the XLR-V to be outdated now...I'd rather get a C6...

Dave · 02-12-2009, 11:24 AM

pass

montreal red · 02-12-2009, 11:56 AM

stick to a ZR1 or even a Z06 for the money.... i dont think the XLR-V would become a classic or retain a good amt of its value... youre better off with the corvettes.
