    I wonder where they are. I only count 3 or 4 that I can recall as members. Am I wrong? It seems we only have about 20 to 25% of the mfg. Marauders represented here for some reason I don't inderstand. Dennis

    I heard 500 were intended to be made for Canada, for 2003. I don't know exactly how many were actually made.

    No idea how many for 2004...

    Finding a Canadian '04 is like finding a Rita MacNeil fan... Probably out there, but damned if you can find one

    In my search for a replacement I was offered a silver 2004 model that was sitting on a dealer lot in Manitoba. For the AWESOME price of just under $40000 Canadian, because the car had never been sold! Yet, the car had over 15000 km on it. Oh, but that's because it was used by the dealership owner's dad but since it's never been sold outside the dealer it's considered a new car. WTF?

    I really don't know what some dealers put in their coffee. It had over 15000 km on it. It is NOT a new car. With 15000 km on it, I consider it a f***ing used car!

    It takes a lot to get me to a confrontational state, and at this point I couldn't hold back from yelling at this guy over my cell phone. A hair under $40000 for a car that's been unable to be sold for over a year and has racked up 15000 unsold kilometers, but yet back when the cars were still being made I got my car with barely 30 km on the clock (thirty! that's like 18 measly miles!) for the grand sum of $43000 Canadian.

    I would like to know what "blue book" these Canadian dealers are consulting, because they can't possibly be in Canadian dollars but rather some rarely-used Happy-Funland currency units that can vary in value as much as 75% depending on the barometric pressure du jour.

    Of course, this might have actually been the ONLY Canadian 2004 model ever produced.

    500 out of about 11 000 total production for the two years would account for about 5%. The pourcentage of canadians in the continent is about 10%. That would make some sense. It all depends on how the manufacturer was interpreting our "buying" habit relative to the US of A community.

    In the case of that particular car, they seems to have missed the target on the whole continent !!

    I was talking to a salesman (in my quest to find an adequate repair shop) who is getting 2004 lease returns now. Usually Silver. I've heard from a couple people now that there is a lawyer in Edmonton who drives a 'Red' Marauder, so it has to be a 2004.

    I'd say if there were 500 - 2003 300eh's, and 2 that we know of are Blue, there has to be less than 100 2004's, and there are less than 5 that are DTR. Just a wild azzd guess.

    TTA- Which Mb. dealer had the SB? I know one had a DPB (which I believe is now sold), and there's still a black one w/42,000 kms for 23,995 on autotrader.ca.

    $40,000 the're nuts..I bought mine with 19,000 Kms for under 30,000..
    Must have some really good home grown in manitoba...
    I was told there where only three RED '04 Canadian marauders..and only
    one of them has the sunroof option..I am only aware of one blue one
    and that is Wesman's..don't have numbers for the silver and black...
    Blue or red Canadian MM's would be the rarest MM's

    I test drove a blue one in early March 2003. No idea what happened to it since. If I'd known it was going to end up being this rare, I'd... still have bought a black one.

    I don't recall the Manitoba dealer with that 15000 km 'new' car.

    2004 leases ALREADY coming back? Jeez. Kinda early. Makes you wonder if the owners were all that satisfied. I wonder if my dealer will attempt to negotiate on the buy-back of my 1st Marauder... they can't possibly get anything decent on it when they sell it off to whatever trader they deal with. At the same time, I'm not interested at all in keeping the car for anything close to the buy-back amount.

    If I stumbled across a black Canadian 2004 model, I'd be tempted to trade up (especially if it was still under warranty as is the case with this 2nd 2003 MM I just bought).
