Any California Marauders?

[MeanMachine]

They've always been semi-rare on the west coast, but now that I'm in the market for one it's seriously scarce.

[Mr. Man]

Try Autotrader or one of those type sites. When I was looking there were always a few out on the left coast. You may need to do some long distance driving though.

There is a black 03 on Craigslist right now. 65K miles for 18K! Price is high, but I have not looked at the car either.

Found a FIT Marauder only 70k...$15k

[MeanMachine]

thanks a lot guys.

@ Mr. Man: Yeah, for the right car I'd even be down to travel into neighboring states (AZ, NV).

@gd: yeah that is high. Are you in the market as well?

@dohc: wow, that thing looks beastly. I saw it on autotrader but passed over it for some reason. Obviously I needed to read the description...my only worry with that car is the extensive mods...I mean, am I going to be paying BMW prices for my Mercury parts?

no pics, but is it priced right considering what he reveals in the ad?

[bigrocks85]

[jus4kix03MM]

[gdsqdcr]

Me, not in the market now. Bought a SB 04 ~18 months ago. Sold it in October and bought my current DPB. The SB came from San Jose, the DPB came from Detroit.

I spent a lot of time looking on the east coast for a clean low milage(under 50000) car with no issues and no paint damage and found that the cars under 14 or 15 thousand either had milage over 80000 or other issues. All the clean no issue cars I saw with milage under 50000 were in the 15 thousand or higher area. From my experience if you want a clean low milage car you are going to have to pay.Most sellers know what they have. A 7000 mile 04 sold in 2 days on long island fo$20,000 and there was a waiting line.Good luck in the search

I paid 16.3 for my 03 DPB and she had 34k miles. Also had 4.10's and truckload of extras. If you want under 50k miles, you will pay for it.

When I bought the SB, I had been looking for 3-4 months.

[nonstick]

Might be selling my black 03 shortly!
Has a CAI, underdrive pulleys, HIDs, Flowmasters, rearend has been rebuilt with new axles and has been lowered but...............it has 125K miles:eek:. $8k obo. I live in Ventura ca.

[BULLDOGINU]

I have a really clean 03 SB with 53,000 miles. It has no mods. I live in Las Vegas, NV. Let me know if you're interested.

[MeanMachine]

welp, I'm still Marauderless but the push is on and the market out here looks particularly bleak...


:alone:

[jus4kix03MM]

Are you looking for a particular color? My friend might be selling his DTR.

I mean this in the most respectful way possible: I'm in the market for anything but a DTR...they just don't quite do it for me.

Found a few one in Vacaville.

[MeanMachine]

yeah, they were talking about that Vacaville one in 'community discussion'. It was priced at 10988 and a few days later they jacked it up to 14988...

[dohc324ci]

Big deal offer them the 10k then walk.

[MeanMachine]

well...that's one way of doing it.

[dohc324ci]

Wait until the end of the month.

[MeanMachine]

for real? is there a sales push then?

[dohc324ci]

yup. how long has that been on the lot?

[MeanMachine]

a minute. A good 2 or 3 months from what I've seen so far.

[dohc324ci]

Try it. but dont talk to the sales person say you want to speak to the sales manager to do the deal. The only thing that can happen is say yes or no to the offer. But go in there ready to walk.

[Chayton]

just wanted to say that things cant really work out right now anyways for me, so no hard feelings here, go for it, im pretty sure they will take 10k for it anyways. I think the price increase might be due to repairs, the salesmen said something about the bumper and whatnot when I talked to him.

wasn't gonna try and buy it out from under you. It's the closest one to me and I need to test drive one at least.
