I've been on here a bit, I still own my 05 Sport, I recently saw a 04 in the ad board for sale from Florida...... yes Eric's.
Long story short, I bought the car, drove 1100 miles to go get it to drive it to it's new home, that was a long 24 hours:eek:. This car will now reside in the Dayton Ohio area.
Eric has done most all the mods that I myself would have done, plus he had an extended care warranty that he included in the deal, we came to a mutual financial agreement, and the car is now mine:beer:.
I can honestly say I wish I would have bought/found one sooner, I looked for a nice used affordable example for over a year.
A word to sellers, if you advertise it, don't send some crappy 2 year old picture phone snap that you are trying to get stand up money out of. And then blow the buyer off, I got that treatment on several occasions.
There were other sellers that took the time to answer all questions, provide a phone # for contact etc.. And that, is what customer service is about.
There are a lot of great people on this board who know their stuff when it comes to these cars, I hope to take it all in and, maybe know .5% of what most of you guys do.
Thanks for letting me participate on the board.

Well, it is sort of driveable and I still a right headlamp. Deer are so cute, just not as hood ornaments...

Spectra, I may be the only person that Eric ever let drive his car.
That is as new a Marauder you could have bought. Enjoy it!

Actually ... Suzi drove it ONCE, the first time you met her.
You had my Town Car for a few days and we came down to pick it up.
I drove the TC home & she followed me in the MM.
And IIRC, the only reason I didn't drive the MM back was ..... you had told me the gas smelled kinda funky in the TC, when you changed the fuel filter.
So, I brought a couple of cans of Seafoam down with me, to dump in the TC for the ride back ... but I wanted to make sure the TC got a nice an thorough "workout" on the way home to be sure the Seafoam mixed in real good & made it's way thru the entire fuel system, to clean it out.
She didn't even try to keep up(probably a GOOD thing) ... tho she certainly would have & then some if she did.

Darren,
I'm glad you were in the market and you are happy with your purchase.
I can rest easier knowing it went to someone that will take pride in it, like I did.
The are no words that can describe how much I will miss that car.
Rest assured, I will own another when the time is right.
