Hi all, new member here. Joined awhile ago and have been lurking, learning and researching. I'm not a Marauder owner yet but hoping to be soon. Loved these beautiful machines since the day I saw the concept version at the Detroit Auto Show. Now that I can afford one I find they're not being made anymore so I'm looking for the perfect used one or as close to it as I can get. Unless anyone knows about an unsold new one forgotten in the back of some dealer lot :D.

It's got to be black and ideally with heated seats, cd changer and sunroof. Which leads to a couple of questions...is the wiring for the cd changer already there so that one could be added? How does the traction control work, does it stay off if you switch it off or does it reset every time you start the car? Answers may help me narrow or widen my prospects.

I'm in the Detroit area, northern suburbs. Glad to have found this site. Keep those kill stories coming, love 'em!

Traction control resets when car is shut off and on.

CD changer I think is pre-wired, but I'm sure someone else will chime in.

Oh, and welcome to the site.

Welcome! Hope you find the right Marauder to enjoy!

Many members have made every conceivable 'mod' to their Marauders, so there is a wealth of info at your disposal...

Now where's Haggis when you need him? :confused:

I read the cable is required to install changer,I think I read it is a hundred twenty clams or so.

I am sure aftermarket would be less but probably not what you are looking for.
Someone posted a MM for sale with 500 miles just recently on e-bay.Did not notice if it was equipt. the same as you want.

Welcome to the collective,..... Naw I can't steal Haggis' welcome wagon thunder:cool:
Good Luck and hope to see you at MVIII:beer:

The wire harness for the trunk mounted CD player has to be installed and can be purchased for less than $100.00 from the dealer. Check with Ray the dealer a vendor on this site.

North Detroit area?

You lucky bastard!!!! :)

Welcome and realize that you have a great group in the Motor City Marauders and one of the best tuners in the entire business within probably minutes in the form of Lidio at Alternative Auto.

Welcome to the site.

You'll find that there is nothing really special 'bout them Marauders. As I'm still trying to figure out. :rolleyes:
