They put a landau top on a Marauder. This is what happens when you do crystal meth kids. And to make it even worse, the top is tan. Whoever buys this is going to have one helluva time getting it off and taking care of the holes to actually make it presentable.

It does, but that doesn't seem as bad to me as Marauder having it. I still plan on taking it off one day, but that will be a big project.

A local Dealer not far from me in Langhorne, Pa. did a few of these in late '04 because they just were not selling. The dealership was Reedman. I talked to them at the time and they really thought they would sell faster?

Hopefully there isn't any rust underneath, other than that just a little filling and sanding before paint.

Why are most all the Marauders on epay big hunks of junk?

because they know such junk won't sell here, and the nice ones belong to members that advertise here :confused:

If I ever sell mine, it will go directly to the auction ;)

The high cost of repair deters many from keeping their car properly repaired and serviced if you can't do the work.

I just spent $903.00 to have all four shocks replaced, parts, labor and tax (10%) with OEM, wheel alignment included. I am physically unable to do the work now. before that, new tires, and A/C repair (that was the least expensive job), window master panel replaced, I did the work but part was $84.00.

It never ends with a higher mileage car. Last few years I've replaced the brakes, replaced suspension parts (ball joints tie rod ends, rear control arms), put on a new roof (rusted through, bad from factory) before that a valve job and so it goes.

I've paid for this car once over and it still needs major expense, paint, and seats specifically, fading out and I've kept it washed and waxed constantly. A DD wears out quickly.

This is not counting the cost of the trip to Atlanta for Mo's tune or the trip to Zack's to have the head work done.

Was it worth it HELL YEAH.

If a guy could steal this Marauder for $4,000 or so...

You have to figure someone spent $500 to $1500 to get that top put on, they wouldn't skimp too much on lesser items....

Same thing happened at a dealership in Clifton, NJ. The car was parked in the showroom dead center. It had a 3/4 roof like a Towncar.

Exactly, some senior citizen buying a plush GM.

If that was done on the roof, what is missing is pics of the inside---that is what makes me more curious of things gone :puke:

fuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhh.......

not even fire could kill that. Not that any color would make it better, but why would they go with a tan top on a black car. I wonder if it was a cheap way to cover rust or roof damage
