Looking to sell my MM

[SideshowBob]

I'd like to sell my 2004 SB Marauder and would like to get some opinions on what it should sell for. I'm the 2nd owner, buying it in 2005 with 13K miles on it. It is stock with 67K miles now. Dealer maintained. It's a great car, but I need an F150. I'm not looking to give it away and can take my time and wait for the right buyer. I'm located in Las Vegas, if region makes any difference in resale values. What do y'all think?

Pics would help...int and ext

[SideshowBob]

Pics (which I don't have available at the moment) would show a silver Marauder with charcoal interior. They all look pretty much alike. If you're interested in making an offer, I'll be glad to send all the pics you want.

You asked for "thoughts" on price and available pics would help.

$11,500 - $12,800 estimated range

Pictures do lie. I could post pics taken in 2005 when I bought the car and it was still like new and how would you know? You'd still be taking my word for it. Shoot, I could post pictures of someone else's car! You know what a Marauder looks like, you have my description of general condition, you should be able to offer an opinion based upon what you know similar cars are selling for, or what you would be willing to pay for one or what you'd want for it if it was yours. I'm thinking $12,000, but I want to find out if that is out of line. I will post pics, in the classifieds, when I'm settled on an asking price.

That's what I was hoping to hear, but I'll wait for a few more opinions before I list it for sale. Probably after Christmas. Thanks.

When I bought my SB (car was in NM) in 2011, I paid 11K for it. 2003 300B, stock, spoiler, sunroof, and had 57K miles on it. Interior/exterior condition would fall in the 'very good' category. First time I saw the ad, the dealership was asking $13K; about a week later, the price dropped to $11K and I jumped on it.

I would guess that you might be able to get $12K, but $10-11K is more likely.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
Of course that would just be a guess since there are no current photos :P

Its worth what a buyer is willing to pay. Price will basically dictate how soon you find said buyer.

I paid 9500 for mine in May with 84k and a built everything. As long as it's clean, 11-13K shouldn't be too far a stretch.

I paid 13k for a black with 80k miles. I live in the snow belt.

[SideshowBob]

So far, it looks as if I'm in the right ballpark. That's encouraging.

Last November the dealer wanted $16,000 for mine with 60,200 miles. I walked out with warrenty for $12,000. I paid more in Indiana taxes than I would have in Kentucky though...:(

[SideshowBob]

Thanks to everyone for the input. I'll be posting in the classifieds and on Craigslist after Christmas. Looking to start the New Year with a used... I mean, "previously owned"... F150 and some cash in hand.

I picked up a 03 with a Vortech V3 and 48000 miles for 13000. Super clean with rear spoiler and great interior.

There's a silver 2004 with a little over 70k that's been for sale on Craigslist here in Vegas for months at 11,999 if that is any help.

Someone trying to undercut my price by a dollar, eh?

spend a few $$ and get a premium listing on Autotrader. You could even list it on Autotrader classics as well. Detail the car then post current pics of everything. Write a half page promo describing the car with what you know of the history and build sequence. Describe the rarity of your car and the MM in general. Not everyone knows about our cars. Many will look in the spring for something different. Others will be looking for exactly what you have for sale. Present it at a price you will take for it. Wait for the right buyer. If you need to sell it immediately keep reducing the price until someone bites. There are more buyers watching than you think.

All great advice. Thanks!

I just sold my Marauder. I got one response from my craigslist ad and negotiated the deal the same day. Got $500 more than I originally expected. I know I'm going to miss her, but I'm glad to know she's in the hands of a previous owner of a 2003 Marauder who will take good care of her.
