Somebody ought to jump on this one!

OBTW, the ONLY way to get a sunroof in any 2003 MM is to get it done aftermarket. Ask me how I know -- pls see my sig for our 2003 Blue MM.

Hi, guys. Sorry for not getting back on here in a while. I guess I didn't have my account set up for e-mail notifications for PMs and post replies. Anyway, the Merc is still available and I will try to get back to each of you tomorrow (Monday). Thanks.

Several questions have been asked. I'll answer them all in one post:

Has the car been driven at all lately? Yes

When was the last time it was on the road? It's been test driven within the last two weeks. I put about 700 miles on it within the past year, 100 miles about a month ago.

Any leaks or issues from sitting so long? None.

Are the tires hard from sitting? Don't seem to be. You might direct that question to the contact below.

How is the paint? There is a minor scuff on the rear driver side bumper. Something in the garage must have bumped into it. Other than that the paint looks good. There is a small scratch and scuff on one of the wheels. See picture.

What options are on the car besides the standard? Trunk organizer, license plate bracket, trunk mounted CD changer. See pic of window sticker for other info.

Do you have the jacket and the window sticker and all the other paperwork? Yes. The jacket was worn more than the car was driven though. My dad must have wanted the jacket, so he bought the whole car.

Was there anything done to the motor or fuel for the long storage it has had? No. It was driven after long term storage and burned through the tank. I have put a couple of tanks of 93 octane in since it was brought out of storage a year ago.

Are you north or south of West Des Moines? Centerville is at Highway 2 & 5 in Southern Iowa.

An old friend of my dad owns a used car dealership located 1.8 miles east on Highway 2. The car is sitting there waiting for somebody to buy it.

Phone: 641-437-7349
Ask for Gary.

PS--My dad died with 9 cars in his garage. We are not interested in a trade. Thank you.

Can you tell me if the car:

* Has any door dings or paint flaws
* Has ever been in any kind of accident
* Came with the 6-disc CD changer in the trunk?
* Has the trunk organizer option?
* Has a full-size spare tire?
* Has any documented service records?

I'm trying to find a Marauder that's as near-to-new as I can get, and it sounds like yours may be the one. Looking forward to your reply.

Way less than if you put the sales price in the stock market and factored in storage and insurance costs.

The car needs to be driven, not invested in!

Someone buy this beautiful car before I do!!!!

I have a feeling it MAY have gone to another 'dealer' or someone looking to flip it quickly...HOPE I'm wrong - we'll see. Neat car to be sure!

Amusing that this dealer thinks he can just buy it, mark it up $6,000, and sell it that easy. :lol:

Awwww I wish I was in the market for a car, I would have bought this in a second and put mine back into DD duty.

If it was sold here then it would have been put in good hands. It would be a shame to see that car end up with someone who has no clue what it is.

He can and will if he knows anything about advertising.
