2004 Mercury Marauder

Plenty of spare time. Looking at Auto Trader I see a Toreador Red/Light Flint car with 21,xxx miles for $20,000 in Oklahoma. Two owner car.

Oh goodness - can't say that I look at Auto Trader very often. What about the 2003 Black/Black, 4,7xx miles for $32,900 in Mississippi? Also a lengthy listing? At that price I think it would be. I did notice the $69,500 wundercar is still listed after all of these years...

Are you looking to replace the Marauder you just sold?

I've been watching the sales on Facebook and realized I haven't looked at Auto Trader in awhile. I know on the intelligent level I need to get down to one vehicle. I'm unable to ride my motorcycles (can barely stand up!) so it's obvious they need to be sold - I'll still miss them as they were 'low mileage - excellent condition' and provided great pleasure when I was able to ride. More amazing was they started and ran well with the 16 month old gasoline in the tanks once their batteries were replaced or recharged (90 E0 with no additives). My cars I can maintain and drive (at the moment). Minimal upkeep (for now) and provide great pleasure. No solid offers for the Mustang - not completely disappointed. One solid offer from a buyer who has standing in the Marauder community - I feel that Marauder is going to a good home. If he backs out for any reason I'll understand, considering present circumstances. Again, I wouldn't be completely disappointed.

To answer your question: many of us probably compare our car(s) to what's available, especially after the recent Hagerty article. Once my current Marauder leaves, there probably won't be a replacement.
