With 12k+ miles no less. Yikes. I never modded my ride but I am guessing he wants every penny back. Sure. That will happen.

Not everyone lives in the real world. Anyone care to enlighten him that unless he finds someone totally uninformed the best he'll see out of this is maybe $25K ? Never mind, I just did. I'll be interested in the response should I actually receive one.

The darn link wasn't working right for me but I'm sure I've seen that car before with the red pin stripe,it may belong to orhave belonged to a member here.I believe it was here as I recall there were comments about the red pin stripes on the car. Could this have been Big Joe P's car?
Beware,that outfit is like Volo only smaller.Same BS with being a darn used car dealer but you have to pay admission to the showroom to see way over priced cars.I was there once with two friends who really knew their stuff,one was a Mopar guy,the other was Bow Tie guy.Both were way up on their game on the muscle car era and the consensus was the cars were priced like they were in number 1 condition and most were 2- at best,a lot were number 3's. Buyer Beware here.
Your best bet if you want to buy a specialty or muscle car is join a site like ours,read up on the cars a lot,ask whatever ?'s you need to and in the end buy a car from a member there who's had it a long time.

I doubt it...Big Joe P's car had custom 'Trans Am' fender vents installed.
Also, I think he sold his car to a member in New England.

I, along with many on here, have more mods than that one and wouldn't dare ask that much for our Marauders. :rolleyes:

It's a very nice low mileage Marauder, with the exception of the "hood mod". Still, that's way too much.

If he was smart...he would work with an exporter and get it sold & shipped to Dubai..he would easily get his price.

:shake: ! No no noo ! you all wrong. I think that the Owner was living in Puerto Rico and buy that M-Panther there and the $900.00 is to recover what he paid to transport the car to U.S. when he moved there Think about it ! I imagine the owner telling you... that car was an " Limited Edition " and that's why cost that price. Obviously only an idiot who's not familiarized with MM.NET or other panther site will believe such :bs: tale.

I hope he gets his price someday! Granted 55,000 is rediculous, but we need to stop giving these away. He has my best wishes.

So it is not just me, they looks so jerry rigged and the undercoating! nice masking job by getting overspray on the control arms. Looks tacky for a trilogy car :puke:

Well, lets face it, these cars are commanding less and less because they are not what we think they are to other people. Any money you throw at a MM is lost money except if you derive enjoyment out of them yourselves. Beyond that most people will pay market or less than market value for them and S/C's etc only bump up the price another 3-5k.

He will have that car for many years at that price, the only cars that will command anything above what is considered market value are KB MM's. Yes there are some wicked MM out there, but the owners will get pennies on the dollar for his/her sweat they put into them. You have to dump mucho deniro into these cars to make them special and then they are only special to you and a few other people here.

Thats the way it is.

You are exactly right, the KBB quote on a excellent low mileage 2003 is around 12K

a 2004 is 13.4K.

The MM's that are priced more than 15K just ain't selling.
