Hello MM.net

[Jinx]

Hello. I've lurked around this site from time to time. I have been interested in Mercury Marauders since they were first announced. Even picked up a dealer brochure for the car when they first came out.

I currently drive a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis LSE. This is the model somewhat similar to the Marauder since it has dual exhaust, 3.27 gear ratio (but it's not limited slip), and a floor shifter with a center console. I like to think of it as a Marauder, but without any of the performance.

I would have purchased a Marauder instead of my LSE, but I needed a car fast and no Marauders were for sale around me at that time. I do really like my car though. It's very comfortable. I purchased it late in 2006 with 45K miles on it. It currently has 76K miles and it still runs perfectly. I did add a trunk organizer and always use Royal Purple motor oil.

I post on CVN.net quite a lot, and just signed up here. I don't own a Marauder yet. Anyways, it's good to meet everyone.

The Marauder has a 3:55 rear not a 3:27. Just my:twocents:

Welcome aboard.:D:welcome1:

Welcome!!! Pay that Grand Marquise LSE off, so you can get the car you've always wanted. I remember wanting to be a soooo bad Marauder, but at the time couldn't afford it new. Out of frustration I ripped up the brochure, thinkin' I'd never get her... now look, I got one with no brochure to go along as a collectible. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Thanks everyone!

There is a beautiful 2003 Marauder for sale close to my home: AutoTrader (http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=249950174&dealer_id=563837&car_year=2003&model=MARAUDER&num_records=100&systime=&make2=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=1981&keywordsfyc=&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=50&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&showZipError=n&make=MERC&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Ais psearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=98072&advanced=&end_year=2009&doors=&transmission=&max_price=&cardist=14), but I'd kind of like to get one that isn't black. I know that would make it really rare. Maybe someone on this site will have one for sale. :)
