    I suspect that once you have it, you'll think of stronger words than "nice upgrade". You will love the car.

    Congrats

    Now, don't forget: You don't have to back up all the course if you go drag racing. You will now be able to do it in drive !

    Welcome aboard. Enjoy the site and your new ride.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Hello Gre8one7 and welcome to the MM.Net. The Marauder will add a grin to your driving enjoyment that just doesn't come with a Taurus.

    Wasn't there a celebrity that used "The Great One" moniker?? Oh yeah, I think it was Jackie Gleason.

    Welcome, now the fun begins! I went from a '97 Saturn SL1 to my MM. A slight difference in performance and in my ATTITUDE. No more Fred Flinstone feet while merging onto the highway. Have fun, and start modding!

    Welcome & congrats on having such a great car at such a young age.

    I didn't buy my first "fast" car until I was 21... it was a bone stock '85 Mustang GT that was probably no faster than the Marauder.

    If you can resist it, I'd hold off on the mod-bug for awhile... you might have more will power, and probably more common sense than I did when I was 18, but there's plenty of power in a stock Marauder to get you in trouble.

    Keep it clean, wax it often, and take your time getting acclimated to the power, weight, and size... it's a great package so be careful not hurt it or you!

    AGAIN, congrats on your new ride!

    Well i didnt buy it today...still going through the pricing lol. Its a 300a(hey i actually know something after being at this forum ). Black eterior with the black and chrome interior. I have a choice of a MM with 50k miles for $16k or a MM with 27k miles for $18.9(can get lower i think). Im almost 100% sure to get the 27k mile one. So far im pretty sure its stock . But the word supercharger kept coming up with one of the cars...are these stock?! Or is the guy just trying to fool me(i had to leave because i had to get to work...). I have to admit, after the first time i got in the car to now the third test drive i still smile. Love it when the dealer says "Punch it" and the roads are empty. No governor(spelling?) on the car it looks like . Thanks for the welcome guys, pics will soon be here.
