Brief Production Run
The XLR was only available for a short amount of time, with production occurring between 2003 and 2009 for model years 2004 to 2009. This limited run contributes to its rarity among Cadillac enthusiasts.
Ultra‑Luxury Platinum Trim
In 2007 Cadillac introduced an ultra‑luxury Platinum trim package for the XLR, adding a higher‑end option to the lineup. Aside from the Platinum, the XLR also offered low‑production special editions that emphasized exclusivity.
Scarce Parts Drive Up Value
Early sales were modest—3,665 units in the first year and 3,730 the next—then roughly halved in 2006, leading to a dwindling production volume. Because of the low numbers, components such as the tail light have become scarce, often commanding premium prices for owners and restorers.
