The Caddy should of never been at the 100k price point to begin with.
It's a $60k car tops.

If you dont drive it it will be... but you will, so its worthless. For that just buy the SL, and 10yrs down the road buy an XLR-v that will be worth nothing and keep it another 10 and there is your "collectable"

I highly doubt there will be any collector car value to the xlr-v. You can't compare to classic muscle cars, because that was an era, that many people remember fondly.

Whats a 2006 XLR-V going to be remember for? The car cadillac failed with and charged too much for era?

I wish the Caddy Xlr v had the c6 z06 motor. I have always liked the XLR, and I am sure as hell tired seeing SL's... EVERYWHERE!! The price of a SL drops very quickly, they dont hold their value any better then a XLR.

SLs are everywhere because they are better and real buyers recognize that.
