Marauder near Seattle

[Lignum]

There is not a Marauder advertised online within 1000mi of me at zip 98201. I am looking for a clean, low mile Marauder at a reasonable price. No superchargers, ghetto blasters. A few performance mods are fine. Black is perfered but not required. I did get one email from someone nearby based on my Craigslist wanted ad. Let me know whats out there.

Would consider a reasonable offer..

I would look at this one if I were you. Thats a nice combo and the mileage is great.

I spent several months looking for one in the Northwest and during that time there were only a few. One had sold by the time the add hit Craigslist, one had almost 100K miles (I wanted under 60K) and the other was less than 10K miles and sold to someone in New Mexico.

There was one in Nevada that I had a deposit on and was getting ready to fly down and finish the deal when the seller got a better offer and sold it out from under me. Two in California. One was light interior that I dont like, and the other had some things on the OASIS report that troubled me.

So after the Nevada car I decided I wanted a S/C car and looked at the entire US. I ended up buying mine from Floridia. I got a great deal even including the cost to ship it to Washington. It helped that the person selling it is a really great person.
Good luck.

So I know there are two dtr Marauders in the area. That is good to know. My 2000 4runner is pending sale, so I will have cash ready to deal soon.

That IS good to know. Keep 'em on the left coast. :)

I say that but DTR would be my second choice. Good luck with your search :beer:

There's a black one for sale at Key West Ford in New Westminster, BC - just noticed when I was driving by. Don't know the price or mileage. Not too far from Everett; may be worth a call.

[Lignum]

I don't have a passport and I'm not sure how an international sale would work. Has anyone here from the US ever bought a Canadian car?

[Lignum]

I called key west ford, they do have an 03 marauder with about 76k miles (123k kms) they are asking $13,888 can which I think is about $14000 US.

[Lignum]

So, this is the 4Runner I am trying to sell before I buy a Marauder.

That is way too much honestly, 11K would be more reasonable.

Did Carfixer sell his?

Found one at Larson Motors near Portland, but they have no pics, no price and are closed on Sunday.

They are in McMinnville Oregon.

830 NE Highway 99W McMinnville, OR 97128-2713


Internet Sales # 877 834-6605

Here is the VIN if you want to get a OASIS report.
2MEHM75V83X615260



Let us know what they say.

The one down at Larson is going to list for $11,900. That is exactly what the suggested retail is. I don't think it is a bad starting place for a dealer.

[03sport007]

I work at an auto auction and I had a dealer show me a Marauder that he took in trade because he knows I love them. If thats the one it was in above average condidtion. I didnt drive it but it looked good.

[Lignum]

It's probably the same one. The salesman said it was nice lol. He is going to send me pictures.

[Lignum]

Does anyone live close enough to McMinnville, OR that they wouldn't mind taking that thing out for a spin and letting me know how she looks? I am thinking about going down there this weekend but don't want to waste my time.

[03sport007]

I'd love to just don't have the time. Its got to be the same one that I saw because the miles are the same. If it is you won't be disappointed because it was nice. I'm pretty sure he would have told me of any known issues because he had already sold it to another dealer so there was no reason to hide anything. It had new tires, interior looked good, engine bay looked good. The guy traded it in on a Audi a4. Good luck

[Lignum]

Do you know what it went for at auction?:D

[FF1077]

I might be able to on Saturday. It just depends on how work goes.
It would be intersting to drive a non S/C Marauder to see how much a difference it is.

[Lignum]

I got some pictures, the thing looks really nice.

[03sport007]

Look at Kelly Blue Book for trade in value for a Marauder in Fair condition and you'd be close. It didn't actually sell at the auction it was a wholesale Dealer to Dealer sale. I have no idea what the dealer that is currently trying to sell it paid for it.

FF1077 I've always wanted to drive a Marauder with a SC I'm sure we could work something out:)

Hopefully us Pacific Northwest owners will be able to get together this year and that will be a possibility.

Here she is: http://www.larsenmotors.com/VehicleDetails/used-2003-Mercury-Marauder-4dr_Sdn-McMinnville-OR/981223293

[FF1077]

I see they have it priced at $11877.00.


When I was looking for my car I realized that my best option was buying one out of state and having it shipped. That creates a whole series of hurdles, but it opens you up to a much larger pool of cars at great prices, including S/C cars.

[Lignum]

I got them down to $10,900 on the phone so I drove down here to check it out.

[FF1077]

Did you drive it back?

[Lignum]

I did I'm sitting in my Marauder right now! Got them to take $10,500. Now I need to get a tint, tune and an intake!

[FF1077]

Congrats!
Pictures?
Does it have 4.10's already?
I think it might be time to talk about have a gathering in the coming months. There are a few of us who are new owners. 4?

[Lignum]

As far as I can tell it does not have 4.10s. Getting tinted tomorrow and I ordered the jlt intake!

I would like attend a meet, there are several things on my car I would like to compare to another mm. I posted a roll call on the emerald city marauders section to see how many Mms we actually have out here.
