Fair price for a new Marauder?

[Dutch]

Hi, I'm a noob that just registered. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks learning up on Marauders, and have been talking price with a local dealer.

I'm wondering if anyone here knows what a good price would be. A friend has offered to get me X-plan pricing, which is about $250 below invoice. Obviously, this is a really good deal. However, with Grand Marquis going for about $3000 below invoice, I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. I have taken all the rebates into consideration; they really seem to be giving away Grand Marquis.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mark

Got mine for about 28k total cost, X-plan, in May.

I paid $27,500 even for my 2003 with no X plan.

Welcome aboard, Dutch. Keep us posted.

I love this site. I never knew about this X-Plan thing. Turns out we can qualify and save an extra $300 on the lowest price quoted from a dealer. I can get $32,273 with the X-Plan plus $1,000 from Ford Credit and $500 for AARP, I'm approaching my goal of $29,000~!

buy it! buy it! Grand Marquis are for a different crowd.
I paid 31,200 for mine. It was hard not to act excited during negotiations.

I paid $28,000.00 for my new 04 MM. Silver Birch. Sunroof, heated seats, keyless entry, 6 cd palyer in trunk.

Welcome to the site, Dutch. Got my '03 at end of last year for $27,000 after a bunch of rebates including $500 AARP and $500 L/M loyalty. It's not just another Grand Marquis --- it's an experience.

Welcome Dutch!!!

I got mine used for $22k only a year old with very low miles.

Welcome!

Maybe you can join us (West Coast Marauders) when we get together. Usually in Las Vegas or LA.

Well thanks for all the input, guys. I ended up buying a used 2000 Lincoln LS V8. I really like the Marauder, but I couldn't justify the cost. I really like this Lincoln, though, and it goes pretty well to boot.

Thanks,
Mark
