I traded the Viper for a XLR-V
The Cadillac dealer gave me $54,500 in trade for my 2003, blk/blk, with 8,900 miles. I think he plans to sell it to a wholesaler. The car is in excellent condition. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll supply you the contact information.
I see a Viper coupe in my future. Maybe the Viper Wizard is listening.  |

Re: I traded the Viper for a XLR-V
Not a bad offer for trade in. How good of a deal did he give you on the XLR if you do not mind me asking?

Re: I traded the Viper for a XLR-V
I sat in one the other day while I was dropping my Escalade off for service. VERY nice! Not sure I trade a viper for it!

$100,000! Tell us more about this baby.... is it really worth this much? I'm curious why you did not opt for one of the Benz's or Jags's in that price range, but I must confess I have been tempted by this car too. It has all the virtues of a C6 Corvette (a good thing) but with a lot more class and a better upscale ride but lot's more bucks too. Anyway, tell us what you shopped and how you picked it over the competition. |

Re: I traded the Viper for a XLR-V
If I wanted speed in a luxurious package with traction control and all the bells and whistles, I'd get the xlr-v over a corvette anyday! For sheer track and racecar feel... the Viper, of course. Very nice on the xlr-v!

Re: I traded the Viper for a XLR-V
I just bought my wife an XLR--what a car!! I can only imagine what the V version is like. The XLR is so much better than my C6 was. Caddy got it right. It gets more looks than almost anything other than the Viper.

Re: I traded the Viper for a XLR-V
Well i doubt depreciation is even a concern to you but...GM's depreciation is sick. Also The underrated Getrag rear diff is in all V's (rated at300ft/lbs TQ) sucks and whines like crazy after a few thousand miles.
I have a cts-V and its been the worst car i have even owned! As soon as the new RS4 or RS6 is out I'll ditch my V. Hope you have better luck with your V! Regards, Marc |
