Ive really had enough of Ford and their bs. I cant get a MM specific Rack and pinion 3W1Z-3504-GARM. No parts warehouses in the whole country has one and it looks like i have to wait to see if Ford is ever gona get off their ass and build one for me as we speak.

Everybody wants to sit here and talk about Marauder this Marauder that but nobody wants to talk about getting in Fords ass and building MM specific parts again. Nobody wants to talk about getting Ford to build the OEM front and rear bumpers again or the dot matrix panel, seat covers, etc. Bottom line is parts for these cars are really getting extinct. Even if you do luckily find a discontinued MM specific part sitting in the warehouses, its gona be nearly 4 times the price it was originally. It doesnt make no sense. I REALLY HATE FORD. If somebody with a 1993 Honda can get a part for their car and i cant get a part for my 2003 Mecury Marauder, something is definitely wrong here.

Ford can go suck big ones cause im not gona be sitting here making Ford rich anymore. Il drive my Marauder into Ford headquarters in Dearborn Mi and cash out. I just might have to get that S63 AMG Benz ive been dreaming all my life for.

lol I hear ya. I have easier time finding some parts for my 1988 Ford but it was built in larger numbers. But I don't think Ford will budge. My best hope is for a aftermarket company to license building some of these parts from Ford, like places on Year One, etc. Ford gets its money and the aftermarket company gets its money.

You can have your Rack and Pinion rebuilt brah.

Or you can get a regular rack and pinion from a Grand marquis and live without the Variable assist steering.

No car mfg has to make parts after 8 years from the day the last car rolls off the line.

I know the feeling. I have a 1995 F-150 but it is a Mark III conversion truck. Wheels, running boards, wheel flairs, leather seats, color keyed grill, rails on top of the bed, parts are very hard to find. I really need a mark III insert for the wheel, a disk the size of our gods head logo.

by the way-- Try Finding a used AMG engine for a good Price and used tranny for some of the older models is not happenin within reason . [ X BENZ and JAG owner ] I will stay American even if I have to Fabricate or Rebuild. [ Just my Master card Worth ] Enjoy the MM Rolling Legend and savor the Suicide and Mark series classic Lincolns

I tried getting my part through one of those "original Ford parts" sites. They said they had it. When I called them and spoke to a customer rep, they didn't have it.

Hope you have better luck.

I had to get my part out of Mexico from the mfg. Fifteen units were scheduled for trash. Took all summer to get clearance.

One big PITA.

Let's see ... 1993 Honda Accord sales (US only) 362,207 (single year production). Mercury Marauder sales for 2003-2004: 11,052. Total Gen 5 Honda Accord Sales: 1,854,817.

We have a relatively low production car from an orphan brand (Mercury). The economies of scale simply do not exist for Ford to provide specialty parts for a car that small of a production run. If you want a car that every part is available for ... drive a Mustang ... you can just about build a mustang from scratch from parts.

My father has an 84 Avanti Touring Coupe ... they made 13. Try finding parts for that. :)

I'm just saying that having a car that you don't pass by every five seconds on the road also means that you can't walk into an Autozone and buy parts off the shelf.

Had to chuckle when I read that then I thought 'Haven't they been building the same Avanti for 40 years'? ;)

So what parts that are still available hold the highest chance of being out of production in the next few years? Maybe a part that fails commonly but is getting scarce.

If something isn't available, invent something better.
