This an ok deal?

[Chayton]

Hey, im very new to this site. I apologize if Im posting in the wrong section. Anyways Ive been looking around for marauders nearby, and found a few. This was the best price I could find, what do you guys think, Could I get him down a little? Miles on it are pretty good for that price. Although it looks like its missing the front emblem.

The first picture looks as if the front emblem is missive, the second looks like it may be a Godshead emblem.

Price and miles seems fair. There are quite a few on our local Craigslist right now. When you are ready to purchase, see if you can get one us local guys to check it with/for you. Not sure where in the Bay Area you are, but we have members in SF, San Bruno, East Bay etc ...

So-so.
Mileage and price are good, but it looks a little rough around the edges.

Seems high to me (but my pricing may differ for different part of country). Looks like its been in a front end collision to me - note front fender trim missing on both fenders, aftermarket front grille (would explain emblem missing), taillights look wierd...dont know why but for some reason... Ad is incorrect, lists tc when it doesn't have it. Looks like its been run hard and put up wet... I wouldn't want to give more than 9 tops, and that would be very iffy upon inspection... Id take the blk 04 with light flint interior on the forum for sale over that any day, and same price.

It has some front end damage.

[wx4caster]

^^^^ +1 ^^^^ Gaps on marker lights are excessive and the collant reservior is crooked. Is that the correct fan shroud?

[screamn]

Also missing driver front wheel center cap!

It's all in the details.

I would try to negotiate a lower price. Make it so you get the better deal of the sale.

Missing side body molding on both front fenders.
It obviously has had front end collision work.
Keep looking

[LOWBUCKMM]

And I noticed some dash lights on to. Like check engine light?

[jstevens]

Looks rode hard. look at the rear tires. Engine looks pretty clean.

Have a local member hook you up if you go see it.

[slickster]

This thing need a oasis check. If it did have front end damage this guy is bs yet he wants noone to call him with bs

[Spectragod]

The front end has been knocked off of it, looks like a lot of aftermarket parts, mising parts and fitment issues..... I would pass.

Correct, its running and has a CEL, ABS, and a brake light. Move along and you'll find a better condition one.

[Jolly Roger]

Also looks like the drivers side tailpipe is tucked a bit farther under the rear valance that the passenger side is.
Maybe it's just me.

[Ozark Marauder]

I'd say keep looking................

[DOOM]

Keep looking.

[MOTOWN]

Yeah i would keep looking, for that price you can find better

[Chayton]

How much should I get him own too? I dont mind the little things if i can reduce the price

EDIT: would it be reasonable to get him under 8k? Thanks for all the help guys, you're all awesome! Yeah if I could bring one of you Marauder Masters with me to look at the car and have you just point out every little thing wrong about it that would be awesome. Surely would get the price down. Im not near ready to purchase one, but I want to get a feel for whats good and whats not. thanks for the help!

Honestly i think $7,500 would be fair:rolleyes:

wow My dream is looking more and more optimistic! It has somewhat low miles, I like that. For my first car, I would be so happy.Everybody has mustangs at my school, anyone can get a crown vic. But no one would have a marauder :banana2: (not saying thats the only reason I want one, But its one of the hundreds of reasons I love Marauders) By the way, just got back from my dads wedding today!(second marriage) Congrats to my dad haha :D

[gdsqdcr]

You know that black one had an accident. There is a SB as well, wig Salvage title from 'door damage'. Find out the info on that one as well. The owner does not state the mileage by the pictures look better.

[slickster]

even for 75 its bs. bring up a car fax report if the damage does not show on that then bring out what where all talking about how and where it looks to be that it was once damaged. if you cant get it for 5k dont bother it may take time but you will find a decent one for 8k

Could you give me links to marauders in the under 10k range in our area? Thanks!

What they said. You can do better.

[Ozark Marauder]

After searching various different sites I use, I only found two that are close (within 50 miles). One @ 9995.00 and the other above your range @ 13,988.00, but might be worth taking a look at and make a low ball offer........Do your own Diligence, Ask a lot of questions........
