Not ‘news’ in Marauder circles. Car has been for sale for a long time at a ridiculously high price. Wishing the seller ‘best of luck’. A shame R&T stooped to this.

I'd say the owner is short and has a hard time reaching the factory handle to pull door closed

[dmjarosz]

Maybe its so expensive because the engine is the 306 HP version, not the 302 that every other marauder came with. :P

[Logan86]

I do love that color but damn that's a strong price.

A 36,000 mile blue for $23,900? Sounds legit to me. Rare cars should require deeper pockets. Easy as that, don’t like it don’t buy.

I never knew our marauders had the backup camera in the mirror that shows the lanes. How do I turn this feature on? lol

[Turbov6Bryan]

It's 5 minutes away from my parents house, I used to store my cars at that museum 10 years ago.
I know the owner of the business, I called on it and spoke to Brian about it.. he didn't want my cash offer. This was 6 months ago....

Over inflated price tag cars sit for almost a year before the owners deflate the price to a realistic number.

Nice car
Bad price

100% agree. I lol at broke posers who cannot afford it and complain about prices.

[crownvic97]

Low mileage blue should be pricey, doesn’t seem that crazy to me.

Yes..... -$3,000 for those 'farm house screen door' handles!

I'm jealous that his compass still works.

Lol. I actually like this feature alot. Unless you have a NAV in place of an OEM stereo, this can be quite useful and it looks like something that can be removed without harming the car (unlike the handles on the door panels which have permanently ruined the panels). Has anyone found out if our door panels can be repaired back to new-looking?

Well said, sir.

Send yours to me, I can fix it.

I’m reminded of the classic car dealers locally. Many cars have been on sale for years, even decades. A bit of research reveals many of these cars probably wouldn’t bring half of the asking price at auction. Whatever.

100% agree with you.

It makes zero sense to me how people can jump on this blue cars bandwagon price without even seeing it in person. ZING muhahaha

3 years ago 4,000 mile blue on dark charcoal couldn't bring $23,000.00 on eBay, car was mint. For sale here in Missouri too...

If the car IS " priced correctly " why didn't it sell the first day it became for sale?????

Nice over priced marauder, just like the 3 that have been on eBay for over a year

[NXSBOB]

Dealer bought it at LEAKE AUCTION for $14,750.

[RubberCtyRauder]

With buyer premium of say 10 percent, he paid $16,250 range.

[RF Overlord]

...dual-exit exhaust...R&T is so used to dealing with eurotrash and ricers with faux-duals they didn't even look to see that they're actually true duals.

[justbob]

If you’re not in a hurry to sell then inflate the crap out of it. I’m certainly not rich but I also wouldn’t have a problem paying mid 20’s for something I desire, especially if it’s close by. Just like hiring a contractor. Makes no sense to me to choose the cheapest price?

This is gold. That would have been a great deal for an enthusiast. Unfortunately it fell into the hands of a dealer. Like I said on FB high teen's is fair. Either way someone buy it from out of state please I want to be the only Blue in K.C. lol. Btw looked at this car when it arrived in KC. It is very, very......... very nice.
