    If your serious about it.... I'll go take a look. It's only about 30 min away from me. Being at a Ford Dealer, at least they somewhat know what they have.

    I just call the dealer and talked to a Jim Lutsey 313 316 1550 (Cell Phone)
    Said he has had a lot of calls. It is a little over priced but looks decent.
    I wonder if any of the people that live close to there have gone over to look at it
    I wish it was a DTR, Blue is Okey, but I know what I want.

    Who was that Masked Man?
    No sir, I did not see the vehicle in person. Pictures do lie, That is why I asked if anyone had been out to see the car.
    If I really liked a Blue MM I would send a independent contractor to evaluate the car.
    Most of these guys will give you a guarantee of some sort. Carfax does not tell the
    whole story at best. You know it may very well cost you a hundrad or so to get this
    done. I had it done on my 08 Cadillac STS V and it gave me room for negotiation,
    they had to come down on there original asking price. This is the only way I can find
    to seek some sort of safeguard in dealing long distances, unless you know someone
    who live within driving distance of the dealer.
    Thanks very much for your comments, thay are always welcome.
    So your horse has a mask as well?

    well russell, pics do lie but as you can see a couple folks said they will look at it for me. i trust a marauder guy opinion before any contractor because WE know these cars, know how they opperate and know what to look for. a contractor only checks a box as you can say and moves along. And this "Masked Man" you speak of who is he? google is our friend, look up The Masked Marauder by Marvel and find your answer and take that horse with you, you might need an extra one.
