Opening bid is 18k.
I've got my eye on it for MM #2...

...I think this is the 3rd time it has been listed.

Seller is brand new as of 1/6/2006. Zero feedback. And WTF is an "aftermarket computer system"? Maybe he means a aftermarket chip.

Call and ask what number Trilogy it is. Then see if the list of Trilogy owners is somewhere based upon the kit number and you will have the information that you seek.

Oaks PA is about 45 minutes from me. If it needs to get checked out before one of us purchases..

[jimlam56]

I emailed him asking all the above questions, also for more pics.
I like 0 feedback, lots of folks won't bid cuz of that...goes without saying you have to see and drive the car.
Also asking Roy to run the vin, anyone have an active carfax account?
I will be at my home office in a week in Allentown, so I will check it out then if it's still available.

Just checking, is anyone else interested enough in this car to bid on it?
I have an "open to buy" from the wife, right now this one, a 2005 5spd Mustang GT and a 2002 Tbird are the finalists...
I guess you know who will make the final choice though...

I've been watching EBay as part of my research about buying a Marauder. And I think I remember this car (which now has one bid at $18,000) being posted before, different description, different seller. Doesn't mean anything - I've seen other cars not meet reserve and then get reposted. Anyway, I'm in the market for low mileage 2003 without any performance mods, preferrably not too far from Boston. - David

Welcome aboard, and good luck with your car search.
Make sure you ask roylpita on this board for an oasis report when you find a prospect. He checked this one for me, found that the hood and trunk had been repainted, think I'll pass on this one.

[DEFYANT]

Jim, dont give up on it because of repainted hood and trunk. Do a carfax and I think you'll find the repaint has nothing to do with a wreck.

Good advice Charlie, know what you're saying.
I am just a little gunshy about a car that has a partial repaint.
I'd almost rather have one with a bad paint job so I can do the whole car at once.
I'm still keeping my eye on it though...supercharger...

Do a carfax and I think you'll find the repaint has nothing to do with a wreck.My hood has scratches all over it from original owners holding the keys in their hand when opening it and needs repaint. Also places like here in dc the rocks from the hiway fly up and hit the hood, roof, windsheild, and even trunk.
