    2003 Mercury Marauder
    Black
    ICE cold A/C and hot heat
    Garage kept and rarely driven on rainy days since I've owned it
    Charcoal leather interior
    Mostly stock (has been programmed to change shift points and for firmer shifts.. otherwise mechanically is stock)
    186,xxx k miles
    Tinted Windows
    Power Locks
    Power Windows
    Power Mirrors
    Power + heated Seats w/lumbar
    Cruise control
    Auto-dimming rear-view mirror
    Factory stereo w/6 disc trunk CD changer and aftermarket speakers (Boston Acoustic in the door, Pioneer in the rear deck)

    This car is in great shape despite the miles. I am very meticulous with maintainence and mainly use factory Ford parts when it needs them. Everything listed below was replaced as preventative maintainence, not because something broke.

    List of things recently replaced:
    -Shocks and struts were replaced 10k miles ago with factory OEM Motorcraft/Tokico shocks/struts
    -Front hubs
    -Brakes (Police Interceptor OEM Motorcraft pads on the front)
    -Tires were replaced in October 2011 and are the same OEM model BF Goodrich KDWS and factory tire sizes
    -Water pump (OEM Motorcraft)
    -Battery (OEM Motorcraft)
    -Alternator (OEM Motorcraft)
    -Belt (OEM Motorcraft)
    -Fuel Filter (OEM Motorcraft)
    -Spark plugs (OEM Motorcraft)
    -Air Filter (Fram)
    -Pinion seal (OEM Motorcraft) - When I replaced this, I filled the rear end with Mobil1 Synthetic rear end lube.
    -I've used Mobil1 5w20 oil and Motorcraft oil filters since I bought the car with 130k miles


    These things were replaced because of failure:
    -EATC O-rings
    -Blend door motor (OEM Motorcraft)
    -Headlight Control Module fix


    The car needs very little to be perfect. There is a 1/4" wear hole in the driver's seat (pictured below). Other than that the interior is good to go with the exception of some wear on the driver's floor mat. In addition to the factory Autometer Oil PSI and Voltmeter, this car also has a matching Autometer transmission temperature gauge. The front bumper and hood have some chips and marks on them as you'd expect for a car with original paint that has this amount of miles on it.

    I had the entire car buffed in 2009 and it still looks FANTASTIC. However, it has been driven and there are a few small areas in the paint that could be addressed if you are picky.

    It averages 18-19 mpg around town and 23-24 on the interstate, which is not bad considering the car weighs in around 4200 lbs. It also handles very well thanks to the factory Tokico shocks and struts, Police Interceptor front springs, factory Watts link rear suspension design, and 18" wheels and BF Goodrich KDWS tires. Overall between acceleration, handling, and braking, the car is very well balanced.

    Very few things on the car need to be addressed.
    -The parking brake shoes have worn and need to be replaced, and as a result the parking brake does not function.
    -There is a small crack in the body trim in front of the hood, and the driver's side headlight bezel has been damaged and repaired with epoxy at some point in the past
    -There are some dings in the wheels. A couple are from road debris.
    -Passenger rear door quarter window tint has a bubble and could stand replacing
    This car is very reliable and I wouldn't be scared to drive the car across the country, as I have done with it every year since 2009. I just took a 1,000 mile trip with it in June and it drove flawlessly as it always has.

    Now that you've spent five minutes reading this, onto the good stuff. Pictures!

    Thanks guys.

    I realize that a lot of the things in the ad are standard equipment on Marauders and that most people here have know those things I listed, but I just c/p my Craigslist ad so that's why all that stuff is in there.

    I'm willing to entertain offers
