Its an A, underhood light, power fuel door release, full size spare, and map pockets. 6 CD changer. Lots of small scratches and imperfections in the paint. Clean Carfax. Newer Tires. 112xxx miles. The valve covera and upper manifold have been painted gold at some point. Interior decent, but the drivers side power seat/window panel comes loose. AC seems ok, but a little weak IMHO. THe full size spare wheel is gold???!2? Seats nice. Asking 8900 - thats their trade off for mileage. Probabl could get it for 8 OTD. Question - does the MArauder have a specific owners manual? The one in the glove box is for a Marquis. Headlights dont work, only on the flash-to-pass stick. One fog light works - other DOA. Not sure about this one. The outside just looks a bit too nicked up...felt a little soft, too, on teh test drive as far as acceleration goes. Oil pressure was 60+ the whole time. Just an FYI for anyone looking. Im gonna pass...

Oil pressure was 60+ the whole time. It will always read that, as the gauge is not truly functional.

Seriously? Those two gauges are not truly functional? Did not know that...

If it was real it could never stay at 60 since oil psi moves around while you drive etc. There volt meter is pretty accurate though.

^^^what they said^^^

O.P. gauge is a fake, a glorified idiot light, but the voltmeter is real.

As for the headlights, it prolly needs the LCM relay fix...very common.

Spare tire is supposed to be silver just like the other wheels except it was not shiny.

The Marauder does have a Marauder-specific owners manual.

As stated, the OEM oil pressure gauge reads 60lbs as long as there is "some" oil pressure.

They should fix the headlights as it's a safety feature.

Looks like it's worth no more than 6k.....

I was thinkin around 6-6500. That "gold" spare wheel thing might have been painted at some point to match the intake:D The gold paint was all cracked, so thats what Im thinking there....

Offer $800 less for the LCM fix. Then you can have a relay installed and save $$, or you can replace the LCM, have the old one fixed and sell it.
