Bought a Vic. Not sure what to do with it.

[Zack]

I couldn't pass this up.
2002 CVLX
One owner
56k

Its in superb condition with a few paint scuffs that can easily be buffed out.
Ive always wanted a silver panther.....not sure If I should flip it or keep it and sell the MM DD.

Hmmm

I'm guessing your a ford guy :dunno:

Hey when are doing a battery powered marauder, slacker :D

[jwibbity]

for 2500 that a ****ing steal!! I would have bought that thing, even though im not a big fan of vics.....

[slickster]

Wow good deal if you're going to flip it do it before peoples tax money runs out

[Bigdogjim]

Depends on how many miles you put on a DD? A lot of miles take the vic, low miles keep the marauder.

[GODFATHER]

[Motorhead350]

For that price and those miles, keep it.

[8UWITH6]

Too bad its not a Sport. Still stole it. IDK change the wheels and tint the windows and Ill tell you more about what I think ;)

[lji372]

Clone it :eek:

[Blk04MM]

Hmmmm maybe drop the 4V and other things in it from the DD and part the rest??

[massacre]

Coyote swap?

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Coyote swap?

ding ding ding...winner!

[Zack]

Where do you think Im getting all this money? LOL
The Town Car is gonna wreck my wallet for the entire year, so NO.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Whippled TC is a better project anyways. Going to be sick.

[Motorhead350]

DD the CV. It will be more dependable and you know it. Or at least for 40 and below weather.

Been driving my Marauder for 2 straight years now with no trouble.
I open the hood when its time to change oil.
I don't know how you come up with this nonsense.

[L.Mark]

If I was in a better postion I'd make you an offer to use it as a DD...

[ctrlraven]

Throw a 6.2L in it and call it a day.

[Comin' in Hot]

I think you should turn it into a vomit comet, push bar, spot light, wigwags, antenna, plastic rear seat, cage, steelies.... and a CVN decal....... OH AND A POLICE INTERCEPTOR BADGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

MY GOD.

It's a matter of keeping the Marauder in good shape Zack, not a matter of how dependable it is. Even then you are smart enough to know something with 40K miles (or whatever it is) will give you less problems than a car with 166K (or whatever it is)

You wear out the CV no biggie, there are LOTS of other ones. The Marauder is not as easy to come by.

Remember, I used to keep the Marauder in storage in the winter. If I could, I would today.

Sorry, I have to spoon feed you exactly what I mean.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Dom...what are you trying to say?




Lol j/k. He owns 3. I think he couldn't care less how beat up his daily NA Marauder gets.

a 4.6 Interceptor badge!!!:D

[Motorhead350]

I would use the CV as a winter beater and keep the Marauder off of the salty roads. I would also use the CV for long hauls simply because of the low miles.

Marauder would be a DD days above 40 and long haul Marauder events.

Given what Zack has in his possession.

[Zack]

My DD is a wreck. Bought it broken, never garaged, garbage paint.
Dependable as can be.

[a_d_a_m]

I don't know what else should go on/in it, but a GCC grille (http://www.adtr.net/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=222) might be a good start.

Sounds like you made your decision before your thread and just wanted to show off the bargain.

Good score, you win.

Back to la la land.

How to I access the ignore list?

[8UWITH6]

Mileage doesnt matter, upkeep and maintenance does.

Look at the mileage difference in the two Marauders in my family. I wouldnt hesitate to jump in either car and drive across the country.

Just my .02

[TAKEDOWN]

Steal Deal

[Motorhead350]

How to I access the ignore list?

To do this properly you must do the following tasks.

1. Drive to Hawaii and obtain 3 lava stones.

2. One must be placed in your finest landscaping area at exactly 4:20pm on the west corner of your garage on the first blue moon of the summer.

3. Another stone goes to the Church you attend for photography purposes.

4. The final lava stone will be given to Mike Heckmen for inspection. He will determine if the lava stone is the same color as his DTR at the stroke of midnight.

5. If Mike approves, you will be granted the power of the ignore list.

Good night and good luck on your quest my son.

[jwibbity]

Super troll of 2014 goes to ^^^

[1Marauder]

What a steal!.

Keep them both.

Get the pinstripe taken off the CV and wax it repeatedly for a month or so, until it shines so brightly that it hurts your eyes (Silver is m fav color--taken much heat on this site for it).

Keep it and drive it for another 110,000 miles.

If you spent another $1,500 making it "yours" plus the money for 2 set of tires... You will have spent only .05 cents per mile w/out gas.

AMAZING! Sign me up!

[Zack]

I have all 4 rotors off to be turned.
Im doing the following:

4 wheel brake job with ceramic pads, and brake bleeding.
Trans filter and fluid change, with a drain plug installed in the pan.
Oil Change
Plugs
Clay Bar, Buff and wax.
Interior detail.

Someone is going to get a great car when I sell it. :beer:

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

O wow, I wouldn't have thought to look there. I was thingking the long way around...machine shop way or replacement...thanks man!!!:beer:

[whitey]

Do you do this your self???

I picked one up at advanced for $3. All you need to do is drill a half inch hole, and install the parts(hollow bolt with nut and washers, and another bolt that screws into the hollow bolt) ask the counter man for it, drain bolt installation kit. The only issue i have is that the oring they give you in the kit that you use with the bolt that goes into the hollow bolt is junk, i went to home depot and grabbed some rubber washers with a metal backing to use(in the screws and bolts isle)

Ok, I broke down and watched this, and yeah, no white castles for...:shake:

[IwantmyMMnow!]

Gotta admit though, some of those rides look pretty badazz. Before I moved from Charleston, SC, I saw a CV that was painted like a mapquest map of the area...I thought that was pretty slick.

[LANDY]

Ls swap it. ;)

I barely have enough money to go buy beer. You guys....
