This is one of 371 Xenon Blue Cadillac XLR Roadsters manufactured in 2004 for sale, rare color for this car as there were only 371 made in Xenon Blue. The current owner purchased the vehicle with 88,540 miles and has added 10,300 trouble-free miles in the past 18 months. This vehicle is based on the Corvette chassis and was manufactured on an adjacent assembly line in the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green, KY

Lots of other misc. service and replacement of parts are on the GM history which I have a full copy of
All GM Warranty safety recalls have been done
Car fax report shows:
3/26/11 - 68234 miles - Had an accident and was deemed a total loss by the insurance company due to of the cost of replacing the rear body tub because of a couple small cracks
10/31/11 - 69127 miles - The car was repaired, inspected and given a new clean title.
I purchased the vehicle with a clean unbranded Illinois title in the previous owners name. The previous owner was a Restoration specialist who took apart the repair that was done by the previous owners to make sure it was done correctly. It was not a bad repair, but he wanted to make sure it was perfect. All the damage was limited to the left rear quarter panel and the area behind it. The damage made the vehicle a total loss because the main rear fiberglass body tub had some small cracks in it where it got hit. To replace those parts is a labor-intensive job and put the repair of the car over the limit so it was declared a total loss due to the cost of replacing the rear body tub. Structurally these parts were fine, so the rear quarter panel was reset and the left fender, left door and left quarter panel were repainted so all the paint matches perfectly. This XLR looks like very good now, with only a few chips normally seen in a 15 year old car.
