03 Red Marauder 30,000 miles - Chicago

[Tony_the_Brit]

This is not my car (not the one in the pic either) - I just ran across it today by accident at Arlington Heights Ford in Chicago.

Wouldn't have said anything - but the Toreador red is rare and 30k 04 is too good to not say.

The dealership number is 847-870-1300.

To declare an interest, they are a networking client of mine but I don't sell cars!

It cannot be DTR and be a 2004.

Got a VIN for me to run in the meantime?

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

I'm pretty sure there was DTR 04's, there was when my dad went looking for a second MM.

[Dragcity]

It's not a Marauder in the Pics above. Its a Vic.

He said the vic was not the car he was talking about.

There is a 2004 DTR on autotrader too. Doesn't mean they didn't get the year wrong too, but hey.

Only 04s were dtr no DTR 03 exist factory. This is basic stuff guys

I think Roy's post just threw people off. I think he meant to say there are no 2003 DTR's.

That, and the Thread subject says 03, while the post says 04.

Yep. No 2003 DTRs. Only 2004's.

[RoyLPita]

2003 CVs and GMs had Matador Red as a color. either way you cut it, DTR is a 2004 color.

[rayjay]

Yep, just looked at my title and my DTR is indeed a 04.

[Tony_the_Brit]

Yup - my mistake - it is an 04 not an 03.

They have it on Autotrader now - also on ahford.com

It has a moonroof.

The car in my sig pics is a Crown Vic - don't let the wheels dazzle you!

[UncleLar]

I'm going to check it out tomorrow after my Dr. appointment.Maybe I can swap off my 03 GM.
Has anyone seen it in person? Or know the previous owner? If so,does it have the stock cd changer? I know it has the moon roof and charcoal interior,neither of which do I care for,but...we shall see.:coolman:

Thanks to Tony the Brit and RoyLPita the DTR Marauder at Arlington Heights Ford was sold today,to ME!!! Tony I'm sure glad you saw it and posted it here. I picked her up today after some heavy duty arm twisting and haggling and she's home here in the garage now. After 5 years and 1 month of being a MM.net member I'm FINALLY a MM owner.Man I must be guy with the longest membership to finally become a newbie.
She was formerly female owned,born 4/19/04,brought home for the first time 6/5/04 and finally brought home by me today,1/18/08.
So my hat is off to Tony for finding it and RoyLPita for his help in running the oasis for me,Thanks much guys!:beer::coolman:
