Find one with Spotter →Typical sold price of a Cadillac XLR-V ranges from $19,848 to $70,749, based on 251 sales tracked on Hypercars. 34 currently for sale.
The Cadillac XLR-V was the high-performance variant of the XLR roadster, sold from 2006 to 2009. While it shared the C6 Corvette's Y-platform, it distinguished itself with a hand-built, supercharged 4.4L Northstar LC3 V8 engine producing 443 hp. This unique powertrain, combined with Magnetic Ride Control and upgraded brakes, created a fast and comfortable luxury convertible that was distinctly Cadillac.
With fewer than 2,200 units produced over its 4-year run, the XLR-V has always been a rare car. Collectors value its exclusivity, unique styling from Cadillac's "Art and Science" era, and the performance from its special V-series engine. It's a compelling alternative to contemporary Mercedes-Benz SL models, offering a uniquely American take on the high-performance luxury roadster.
Today's market is relatively stable, reflecting the car's rarity and niche appeal. The average sale price hovers around $42,000, making it a considerable performance value. The best examples are the final 2009 models, which received interior updates and are the rarest of the production run. These low-mileage cars can command prices well above the average, sometimes exceeding $80,000.
Buying Tips
- Check the supercharged 4.4L Northstar V8 for any signs of coolant leaks, and listen for unusual noise from the supercharger itself.
- Operate the power-retractable hardtop multiple times. Ensure it moves smoothly and seals properly, and inspect the trunk for any evidence of water leaks.
- Verify the Magnetic Ride Control suspension is functioning correctly. Look for any dashboard warnings and check the shocks for leaks, as replacements are expensive.
- Test all interior electronics. The infotainment system is dated, but ensure the touchscreen, head-up display, and Bulgari-designed gauges all work as intended.
