For SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS?

If he can get $60K for it he doesn't need eBay.

[1of327]

I sent an email to ebay stating that it is a fraud...see below.

This listing is in no way a reflection of the true market value of this car. I own one of the rarest types of this automobile and can assure you that mine being one of 328 ever produced, it is not worth $60 thousand dollars. Even at that, I would at least have a picture let alone the proper engine description. In this listing, it reflects the car having a V6 engine...if this person professes that it is rare, they should know the basics of this car as it is in fact a V8.
Thank you.

[sabtaj1]

Silver huh? LOL. Wonder if/when they are gonna pull this auction.

[TKde0]

$60k and reserve isn't met for his V6 Ford Marauder?

[99SVT]

Seller's from Paradise Hill, SK, that's in the middle of nowhere, I grew up around there and considered that to be backwater.

[94_302]

They could be thinking 60k Canadian, still more than it's probably worth but you never know. People make mistakes on ebay when listing, especially when they are not used to it. Give him a break. I have seen Cobra R's, Bullitts, and rarer cars than a Marauder on ebay without pics or with generic pics and wrong info like automatic or v6 instead of v8. The real ebay scams are the ones that are closed auction with a 6,500 or 8,000 BIN USD as they say on numbers matching Shelbys, Camaros, and Other classic Muscle cars.

Did not one else realize this guy has ZERO Feedback?????

Been on EBay for several years....and nada???

"...the 2004 marauder is a limited edition, they only made this car the one year."Well, he IS telling the truth...they did only make the 2004 Marauder for one year. :rolleyes:

[SID210SA]

At 60K USD and the reserve in not met yet..... Wow

[RCSignals]

Well, he IS telling the truth...they did only make the 2004 Marauder for one year. :rolleyes:

My question is....who, the HELL, would bid on this?

Bidder 1....looks like he/she bids on mostly coins and some stamps. Alot of bidding the last 30 days.

Has bidder 1 ever won an auction?

[SID210SA]

Dont know how to look that up.

[sabtaj1]

I would have to guess that next bidder meets reserve. Just a set-up to get someone to bid. Ask them if they take paypal for the full payment. LOL

[offroadkarter]

Simple, he got another vin off a silver one. If you check that carfax it says
<table id="recordTable1" style="height: 41px; width: 524px;" class="folderstyle" bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr class="evenrow"><td align="left" valign="top">"10/29/2004 </td> <td align="right" valign="top"> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> Dealer Inventory </td> <td align="left" valign="top"> Vehicle offered for sale"</td></tr></tbody></table> Which means its such a crock of $h!t, its hilarious!:)

[Raudermaster]

Not only that, look at the license plate. It says this is in Canada, although I can't zoom in enough to tell what it says, I'm pretty sure it resembles Maryland.

Reference the car on posting No. 1, page 1, it looks as though this sucker drove around until he found a Silver, took a pic and fled. :shake: I can think of a lot of other more flattering pics other than a rear shot.

I guess I'm confused, I thought this thread was discussing the "Ford Marauder" in Canada with a bid of $60,000 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-marauder-2004-limited-edition-ford-mercury-marauder_W0QQitemZ280112421088 QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280112 421088) from the first post, and the salvage titled Marauder was from a different thread. :dunno:

[knine]

Nope, your pic is just fine, it looks staged by the owner (and it's a BLUE :rolleyes: ). That silver pic looks like a bail-out pic. He just drove until he found a silver, bailed-out, took the pic and drove off. One can definitly tell by the shot the amount of time set up for the photo.
