    Steve's car is nicer than when it came off the assembly line, by a lot.

    As for your local tuner, ask around the Mustang clubs. Most shops have no experience with the Marauder but Marty does and his "canned" tunes are among the best. Same for Lidio (Alternative Auto) and Zack.

    It is a combo I plan on having myself one day. In fact...if for some reason I can't get my bank to go for a marauder, l'll be getting a SHO.
    But I honestly would rather have a Marauder.

    Now have the means to do this. Working 40+ hours a week to make it happen and in January I'm looking to pick up an 04' DTR or SB. Wish me luck!

    see if he'll take a fat deposit to hold. He's had the car a long time - if you're serious, might be agreeable

    One of a kind with that paint, as my two tone car is. Love unique.

    You just ruled out 90% of Marauder ($)

    You shouldn't have to pay more than $10K for a stock car with less than 80K miles and perfect paint. Modded cars may have been thrashed, but they can handle it. Just look for clean, maintained cars.

    Make sure the lights and wipers work like they should. Make sure the AC controls change mode like it should (vent, floor, reacts to temp settings). Make sure there's no excessive tick on the driver's side head. Check for broken suspension springs on the front, near the base. Check for inner-edge tire wear on the front. See if the power pedal adjustment works. Check the steering linkage for excessive rust or binding.
