    Hello from Vancouver WA / Portland OR

    I just picked up an 03 this evening. I almost pulled the trigger on one six years ago but ended up with a Cadillac CTS-V. Both great cars but I am really enjoying the Marauder more.

    Mine is black/black and I am the 2nd/3rd owner depending on how you look at it. The seller said the manager at the dealership used it for a year before it went on the lot for sale and the previous owner has owned it since 04. Right now she has 136k miles and I will be adding more.

    Mine has a "gold package". The emblems on the grill and trunk are gold as are the center caps of the rims. Is this an odd ball option?

    Aww, the 24K bling package. I'll bet that cost the original owner an extra $5000.

    Welcome to the site!

    The "gold package" was certainly a dealer installed thing.... does it have a fake convertible top also?

    I know that car!!! The one from Lake Oswego right? I almost bought it before I got my DTR! Congrats! It is a beauty...my credit union gave me better numbers on mine so I went with the DTR (among other reasons) but regardless I'm glad that one stayed local for more NW Marauder owners. That makes four here in Vancouver for sure.

    @Junior - Still love my Marauder....even after over 6 months I can't help but grin like a fool when I walk to my car Added the organizer, spoiler, and a couple other small details. You should come out in May if I go to the SVTOA show at Griots.

    @Marcus - we need to organize a local meetup soon. Congrats on a nice find.

    A meetup would be great. I am taking it for the first road trip on Saturday to Evergreen Speedway for Nissan Fest. Already planning on the SVTOA show.

    This is the one from Lake Oswego. He dropped the price to 6k to get rid of it and I was the first to jump on it.

    Welcome to the bar!!! Congrats!!! The gold package isn't that bad as long as it isn't a DD and taken through automatic car washes. The gold plating isn't what it used to be. However I did see a GMQ with just the inside M(hockey sticks) golded and I kinda liked that...Nice find, your gonna love the car...
