'04 Silver Birch for sale

[Eric91Z]

Well, the time has come and I have decided to sell the Marauder. Long story short, I have a number of reasons to sell. Being a single parent looking to buy a house in the next year and wanting to focus more on doing things with my daughter, I have decided the Marauder will need to go. Plus, some of the things I want to do instead will require adding a SUV or truck of some kind and keeping the Marauder is not in the cards. I love the car and don't want to get rid of it, but it is the best option after looking at them all.

I am the second owner of this car. I purchased it in September of 2005 with just over 5,000 miles on it. The car now has a little over 47,000 miles - most of which are highway miles. The car is around a 9 out of 10 on the exterior and 10 of 10 on the interior. The car will come with a custom fit NOAH car cover. Car has always been taken care of with Zaino products.

Warranty In-Service Date: 08/11/04
Build Sequence: #2703 or 3213 2004 Marauders
Color Build: #852 or 987 Silver Birch Marauders

Here is a run down of what the car has done to it and what comes with it:

Exterior:

- HID 8K bi-xenon headlights
- 15% tint on all windows except the windshield
- Ford "factory" rear spoiler
- S55 taillight and backup light treatment
- Bob White black Marauder decals on rear bumper
- ProGuard

- DTS rear end girdle
- New tires (front and rear) spring of 2007 with about 2500 miles on them
- Alignment set to "Carfixer's" spec in January 2007 before new tires installed


I think that is about it. I have plenty of pictures in my Gallery and can give more if need be. I do not have the title in hand as it is collateral on a loan, but can make appropriate arrangements and is held by national finance instatution when can be used to coordinate the sale if need be.

I really hate to see it go and hope it will go to someone that will care for it like I do which is why it is posted on here. Price is listed below.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. A For Sale sign is going in it when I take it to cruise nights, but other than that I am not actively pushing the sale of it right now beyond Forums and the For Sale sign.


Price: $17,500 or best offer.

I will still be around and hit the cruise nights and other get togethers, it will just be in the CVPI for now...

[oldekid]

Eric, as much as I love my Marauder, I appreciate your willingness to give yours up for your situation and your family.

I know it would be hard for me to do that, but I would if I had to.

I admire what you are doing, and wish you the very best.

Take care,

John

[offroadkarter]

D@mn huge bummer man :( Your car is beautiful, i hope it goes to a good home.

[Eric91Z]

Yeah, it sucks to be doing this and I, too, hope it goes to a good home. But I just need to remind myself that in the end it is still "just a car". A darn nice car, but just a car. My daughter's up bringing and memories of our time spent together and the things we do is more important .

[Eric91Z]

In my original post I forgot to list that it has an UNGO (DEI owned) 2-way alarm/remote start. It has 2 fobs: 1 2-way and 1 1-way fob for it.

I second this sentiment.

As much as any of us loves his car, and as much as we may have customized it to look, drive, sound and feel the way we always wanted, you can always get another car.

Good luck!

[Eric91Z]

Something else I thought of. The car just had an oil change probably less then 200 miles ago and the tranny fluid flushed, again, in April 2008. Rear end fluid was new in April 2007 when the gear install was done.

[Aren Jay]

How can it go from forward to reverse at slow speed?

Does it have heated seats?

Good luck with the sale.

[Eric91Z]

Random bump...

[HotRodMercury]

I lowerd my rauder to 16000 same miles and year as you,
not sure's if yours a 04 but when I did this,

im not sure if you'v seen but thay all went psycho lol,
your car is nice with the right advertise'ment it will sell,
Im stickin mines in auto trader next week, good luck and godbless.

if any body mochs your price dont pay att :rolleyes:

Yeah, I really could care less what people think about where I have it priced. No reason the market on these cars needs to bottom out. I think a lot of people selling have dropped their prices just to get rid of the car. I am not in the big of a hurry. If someone cames along with a decent offer I will sell it, if not I will sit on it until the spring and push again when people are looking to buy...

[HotRodMercury]

Right, if some one offers you around 15-16,
not to bad if you get that much you dint loose,
at all figure in a year or two you can by another,
marauder for same price or less?,

thats what I had plans to do I love this car but thats life,
gota do what you gota bro, i figure i can always buy
another one, more now i notice i see more marauders,

on the road then i did a year ago so ther out ther,
figure being apart from the marauder is only temporary,

im sure the next one will be just as nice or nicer:),
good luck and godbless.


This is for the people who are geting upset reading this post, yes we will get that much for our cars,
and why cause thay are nice ride's not every one wants a marauder thats cheap and looks like crap,
your price will speak for the car's condtion...

i feel exactly the same about mine....good luck with the sale!

[jgc61sr2002]

Eric - Good luck with the sale.

[Eric91Z]

Bump for the heck of it.

[Eric91Z]

Well, got the car back from some work on it today. Had a "pre-winter storage oil change" done, new battery put in, and the "thunk" noise resolved. A number of bolts on the rear control arms were loose! Some more so than others. Make sense since the noise started after those were installed and has gotten gradually worse since then - i.e.: bolts loosening even more.

They tightened those and checked and tighted everything else on the suspension and no more noises, creaks, or thunks when driving it. That does make me feel better.

Who knows what next year will bring. I am not a motivated seller, not looking to drop the price, and not going to take a low ball offer. So who knows. Maybe something will happen between now and next year that will let me keep the car! It has been fun to drive the last 2 days and will be driving again tomrrow since the CVPI is in for some work...

[Vortech347]

HAH I had that same issue in my 03 with the control arm bolts. First thing I did when I got the 04' home was to check them. Sure enough one was a hair loose. I came damn close to buying your ride. Good luck with the sale.

Yeah, I think I will get it out and drive it some more today before I wash it and park it again. Kind of filthy right now as it actually got rained on yesterday and Tuesday. But supposed to be sunny and high 50's all day today. Perfect day for the Marauder!

[BODYMAN]

[Eric91Z]

Just a friendly bump for the new year. Spring is coming folks...

[Spectragod]

That is one gorgeous car, I would love to have it next to the DTR, but, I would have to live in one of them, the wife would kick me out of the house if I buy another car without telling her first. :D

[tjg442]

sorry to see this, priorites first !!!
eric, freind of mine sells specialty cars on "cars.com". Lot of "new jersey" buyers who ship overseas follow this site. Your car quailifies, without question !! God bless, and hope everything works out for you and your family....:)

Mine saw this before me, she's been looking for a nice SM, and that look in her eye was frightning. Time not right for now, she will have to wait to park one alongside my DTR also..:bows:

STRYKER. :burnout:

[stormtroopin']

Eric, I too had to sell my Marauder. We traded for an '03 Expedition to meet our family 6 seat requirement. It was great to meet you at TriState and race 'em. You've got a great car...hope you find it a good home! Ben

Hey, long time no talk! Good to hear from you. I guess, ultimately, they are just cars and you have to set your priorities. There will be another "fun" car some time in the future...

[stryker]

:confused: How fast the Panther run the 1/4 mille ? i mean if your Panther has been in a race track ? :burnout:

[Eric91Z]

:confused: How fast the Panther run the 1/4 mille ? i mean if your Panther has been in a race track ? :burnout:

It has been on the track once. It ran around 14.7's at 96 mph with CAI intake and tune only. Since then has had the 4.10 gears installed and all of the suspension pieces. Have not been back to the track since.

Good perspective. I never thought I'd have another "fun" car like my '68 Olds 442 but, here it is 35 years later and I have a Marauder. The Marauders' not the same but, I'm having just as much fun.

Price: $17,500 or best offer.Thanks. Were is new price here I think that what you change is that you change to $ 17.500.00 Firm.

[bigmerc2003]

Look at the spot were it says last edited???? He owns the car and made the post I think he knows if it is a new price or not :laugh:

[Eric91Z]

Were is new price here I think that what you change is that you change to $ 17.500.00 Firm.

The price in the original post was still the $19,000

As noted by a post above yours, you can see at the bottom of that very first post when I last edited it. So, when I added not only the new post near the end of the thread with the new price, I also updated the initial post with the price so that anyone just starting to read the thread does not have to get to one of the last posts to see the current price...

[stryker]

Stryker look at the bottom of his first post and see when it was edited.

Really shouldn't be this big of a deal. I made a new post in the thread at 1:00pm Central Time stating the new price. 1 minute before (12:59pm Central Time) I updated the original post with the new price. That is all there is to it.

The current price is listed as $17,500 - that is the new price.

[stryker]

Either way $19.000.00 or $17.500.00 is one of the most clean,beauty,nice and well cared Marauders in this forum. :cool:

Thanks man. I appreciate the comments. It has been sitting in the garage, under the car cover since last October. I am really hoping for a little nice weather for a chance to driver her before a seller comes along... Crappy Iowa winters...

[stryker]

ERIC, if I hit the lotto this week, I will go personally to buy it and bring it to P.R. and start my campaign of terror to the crap sport compacts !HE HE HE HEEEEE!

Thanks. I am not sure what the next one will be. First priority is to get debt free then it is house hunting time. I am thinking next time it might be something a little smaller, manual transmission, that I can have a little AutoX fun with, but still drive and enjoy on the street now and then.

Who knows...

[offroadkarter]

Congrats on the sale Eric, hope you have another fantastic marauder sometime in your future

[jgc61sr2002]

Eric - Congrats on the sale.

[JUST 1BULLITT]

Way to go! CONGRATS! FINALLY! (You sure had to pay your dues on the time to sell it; not fun for you I'm sure but good to know it's going to a good home and maybe we'll get a new member out of it all.)

Now, if somebody would check into buying my Escalade ESV off of here i'd be jumping for joy. (Though in reality we all HATE selling our toys!!)

Take care, congrats again and Happy House Hunting! :banana2:
