This 2006 Cadillac XLR Hard-Top Convertible is a rear-wheel-drive performance luxury car painted in a color called Black Raven, which begs the question, “Will the driver of this convertible ever get bored?” Nevermore. This XLR appears in very good condition in the provided photos and has had three owners — two in Minnesota and the current owner in Arizona. The sporting Cadillac packs a punch, delivering 320 horsepower from its Northstar V8 engine. The XLR also offers a driving confidence with Magnasteer power steering, Magnetic Ride Control, and selectable Driver Shift Control. The seller states everything on the vehicle is “totally original” except for the LED lighting in the headlamps.
