Why are they NOT SELLING???????

Not that I want to see any on the road but.. but dealer has 2 One black exactly like mine and One silver ( wish I got silver ) black is killing me. May tade mine in but I will take a blood bath on it just to change color. Black rocks but what a pain to take care of this car scratchs if you look at it funny!, In any case if they are not selling does that make mine worth more to trade in? Most are not being discounted and sold at FULL msrp. I just hope this car is a hit, and they sell the projected number of them so there will be a better one come 3 years from now....

Its supposed to be a low-volume halo car. The V-series XLR will retain its value better than the standard XLR, but as always with any Cadillac, expect to take a hard hit on trade.

Maybe it is Only in the tri state(PA, NJ, DE) where they are not selling as I know of about a HALF A DOZEN sitting at local dealerships where they will SELL below MSRP. I kid you not. If you want one I can get you one right now for at least a couple g's off.

Re: Why are they NOT SELLING???????

I think Cadillac's problem with the whole V-series lineup is that they are not pushing it enough.
Outside of Cadillac owners, not many yet understand what the badge means.

They need better advertising.

Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!! i was thinking the same thing.Cadillac has pretty much established themselves fairly well on the race track with the CTS-V,but they need more advertising about the rest of the V-series Caddies.Many people are not informed,and many are surprised to get their doors blown off by a car that they're not familiar with.Cadillac has got to shake off the "gray-headed" old man-rocking chair mentality out of the heads of young buyers,or this whole V-series thing may get unnoticed.I like the idea of the XLR-V being a low volume seller,but please don't kill it Cadillac.

Not only in your area. There are 29 vehicles listed as being available in the greater Los Angeles
area which for some unknown reason includes Las Vegas, so there certainly is no shortage.

Maybe there are so many at dealerships because some stupid dealers are trying to get up to $10K over MSRP.

That's true! When I bought my CTS-V last month the dealer had a black XLR-V at 5k over! WTF? It's still sitting there!

Re: Why are they NOT SELLING???????

GM dealers shoot themselves in the foot everytime. It happend with the 01 z06, 03 SSR, 03 CTS-V, and is now going to happen with the xlr-v, sad stuff. You can now buy a brand new ssr for 10k off sticker go figure.
