It`s depressing to see this

[Hack Goby]

Ya know I dont mind seeing a Marauder in a Dealer used car lot but today going down Gratoit I saw a black Marauder in one of those tiny used car lots.You Know the ones Im talking about.The ones you would never buy a car from with the shifty eyed salesman and maybe only ten cars in the whole lot.Then not even five miles up the rode in another tiny lot theres another Black one.I wonder where they got these cars and what kind of life did they have?Also they have a DTR and a Black one at Dorian Ford used car lot and ya really dont know about these cars eather but I would trust the dealer more than I would a tiny lot.

Most likely they got them from the auction nearby. Probably lease turn ins or rebuilt salvage cars. Pm me the VINs and dealer names????

I saw a black 2003 marauder in the Eastern Motors car lot in Manassas. They advertise "if you have a job you got credit". It was the feature car last month. I cried as I passed the dealership thinking that it has come to this. Anyway, one of the local drug dealers in my neighborhood purchased the car and is very pleased with it. I don't think he is a member at MM.net.

Maybe it's better that he's not. Maybe it will be confiscated when they raid his house, then be put up for auction. Hmmm..

Mine was a local trade, but the other one I looked at was an auction car - sadly, some dealers won't keep a 45K mile car on their lot.

Mine wasn't treated very well, but I'm trying to make up for it! Hopefully, others in my boat (couldn't afford a new one) will buy these and keep them up and or repair them.

Now, if I could somehow buy a jacket.....

When you think about it, it's really sad to see a limited production car treated like a yugo and sold like a pinto.

:mad2: "Rode hard and put away wet"!. It's a shame to see any car on one of those "sawdust in the rear-end" car lots, with the smarmy sales guy leering out the door. Any MM deserves better.

[MarauderMark]

Maybe it's there personal car.. :P

[HwyCruiser]

There's a black '03 here on an "easy finance" lot. It was up front for a few weeks and is now parked in the second row, displaced by a CTS.

Hopefully someone will rescue it soon. I so feel it's shame. :o

That 2nd one (with the odd color) is it an MM or a GM?

[RoyLPita]

I have no clue. Let's send Hack to Warren to get me a VIN.

The grill is chrome, all MM's had body color grills. Maybe the grill was replaced & the car repainted after an accident...

[duhtroll]

Look at the side mirrors. I'm a guessin' it's a GM with MM wheels.

It might be a MM clone, MM front bumpper and wheels.

That 2nd one is odd. The plain black mirrors are usually CV style. GMs have body color mirrors. Chrome grill would be GM too because a CV grill won't fit I believe. I kinda like the color. Sorta like a blue-ish gray.

[Embassy]

It's a Marauder that has probably been in a wreck.

No GMs came with that front fascia.

A quick glance into the interior should help determine if it is a Marauder or Marquis.

[RF Overlord]

I agree w/Embassy...also notice that the headlights aren't blacked out. It's either a bad resto, or a bad clone...

[RoyLPita]

possible stolen/ strip/ recovery????

Het Merc, you know where a nice 75 Pinto Wagon might be for sale? :banana2:
