My 06 XLR has been an absolute treat. I have never had a major issue. If I had read up on the car before buying it I probably would have passed, mainly because parts are becoming unavailable. If our cars are dropping in value one of the reasons is that parts are a major problem. I also own a Chevy SSR and this is also a vehicle with potential problems. However there is group of owners that share their expertise and help other owners when they have problem , a big example being the roof. There are also a couple of owners manufacturing replacement parts and new parts to make the trucks run better. They are always have workshops around the country doing repairs and teaching owners how to do stuff.This is what I think we need on the XLR site. I know there are extremely sharp individuals on this site that know these cars but I do think for the most part you are on your own if you run into a major problem. I wouldn't guess how many cars I have owned over the years but my XLR's are my favorite by far. I am sure most will agree that Cadillac is never going to do anything and so we need to take care of ourselves. To sell one of these cars because you don't think you can get parts is a real shame.
Sorry for rambling.
