Lowest Miles Marauder?

[beemer]

Ok we know who's driving the wheels off their Marauders, now let's see who's the low mileage top dog.

I've had my 300A since Jan '03. 6800 miles yet the car has been to Ford's 100th in Dearborn and to St. Thomas twice......I make the miles count.

Let's hear your low miles story.

Best,

Paul :D

[RoyLPita]

My MM is still low in mileage. I bought it with 7800 miles 7 months ago and now have 16200.

[Threept4me]

She's in storage right now, but I believe I'm at 4600. I know someone who's lower. I'll try to get him to post.

[BruteForce]

Bought 12/03 with 3,400 miles on the odo. Has 10,100 now so that's 6,700 miles in 26.5 months on a daily driver. Well... almost daily. :D


PS. We need two awards. Lowest total miles & lowest miles in the longest period.

[rich1765]

I'm at 3403 miles

[cyclopsram]

My friend, just up the road and not a member here has a 03 300A with 210 miles....he bought it as a demo and it went into storage...starts it a couple times a year for a few minutes...it sits between a Checker Cab and a Lamborghini sumpthin...behind a International Cub tractor... :stupid:

[fastblackmerc]

Too bad you guys don't get out and drive your MM's more often.

[mercfirst]

...took delivery of my 300A in March '05, with 629 mi. on it. Today I have < 3K mi. on it. I drove it on average about once per week prior to the winter, and have semi-stored it this winter.

The car is my luxury.

[Brother Mike]

My 2004 DTR marauder has 3300 miles....1800 from driving it back from San Antoni, TX to Deraborn

[jgc61sr2002]

Mine has 4,100 , purchased 1/03.

[Dragcity]

My Brother in CT has a 300A since first release. Has about 1200 miles on it. Pansy!

[Joe Walsh]

Bought mine in December '02....I've got 7752 miles, including a trip out to WDC/MVIII. Lots of this mileage in 1/4 mile increments!:D
Having the engine out for a year really helped keep the mileage to a minimum.:(

[2003DOHC]

Daily driver since 04/02/2004, 10,782 miles.

[Rider90]

She's in storage right now, but I believe I'm at 4600. I know someone who's lower. I'll try to get him to post.
And WTH have YOU been??

[mpearce]

Bought it 2 years ago in Detroit, April 13th 2004 with 40 miles on it, and drove it back to Cleveland OH that same night, ended up with 210.

Since then, Ive been to MV2 in Indy, MV3 in Detroit, 2 Woodward Dream Cruises, Buffalo NY, Mt Clemens MI a handfull of times for mods, Dragway 42 numerous times, and Norwalk Raceway more times than I can count...

As of today, 8,997 Miles.

On another note, my wifes Turbo Buick is 19 years old, stock motor never opened, upgraded bolt ons, has 92,000 miles, and runs 11.8's Not too shabby. I'd hope the Marauder can stand the test of time that well.

[Vortex]

Purchased 10/04. 5200 miles. Hey, Im saving it!

Update: Well since I drove it to MMIV in FLA, it now has 11,600 on the clock. I drive it on weekends but its not my daily driver. Still glad I bought it!

[Bluerauder]

My friend, just up the road and not a member here has a 03 300A with 210 miles....he bought it as a demo and it went into storage...starts it a couple times a year for a few minutes...it sits between a Checker Cab and a Lamborghini sumpthin...behind a International Cub tractor... :stupid:
I guess that I can understand the "investment" rationale. But letting this car sit idle seems to be a waste of potential. I am having so much fun just driving my MM that the idea of saving miles just ain't part of my plan. It is worth far more to me "right now" than any possible future $ would be. It's tough to put a price tag on that everyday Grin that I get from hitting the road. :D

[MarauderMark]

I bought mine in 11/03 w/9100 miles on it.it now has about 40k.its seems this thing is a mileage collector as i can only go around the corner and put on a few 100 miles.I can't help it.:dunno::D

[rayjay]

Its nice to know someone with the coin actually bought one and put it away for posterity.

[chapel1]

I have 22,000 miles.I purchased 06/2002. My Weekend Warrior!

[Larry Staunton]

Mine just turned 3,000 miles.

[SID210SA]

As she sits right now The Silver Ghost hat 24,449 miles. Purchased November 24, 2004 with 7 miles. 1 year and 4 months as a daily driver...Kinda wish I still had my Bronco so I wouldn't put so many miles on the Marauder. But in order to get her I had to sell the Bronco and trade in my White '01 Ford Taurus SES. Been to Pecos Tx (West Texas) twice, Dallas once, Oklahoma city, and Corpus Christy Twice...Have not been out of Texas much, but I hope to change that with the up comming MV IV.:D :beer:

[1 Bad Merc]

My DTR 04' has 180 miles on it and I have her in storage. I drive my Silver 03' and have 18,000 miles on her. Enjoying the best of both worlds right now.:beer:

[wchain]

Mine just turned 3,000 miles.

3000?? That road trip really put some miles on her! You'll be passing the continentals mileage soon!!

Keep em off!

I'm knocking at 9900 right now :(

[JUST 1BULLITT]

JUST purchased my Silver Birch '04 off our site from "OldFashHounds" GREAT machine! Couldn't be happier! Want to buy another one to put away already, so I can ENJOY DRIVING this one!! Had just under 8,400 Miles when I picked her up last Wednesday, now has 9,300 - immediately hit the road with it to Chicago and onto Kansas City, ALL highway miles with a fresh Dealer oil and filter change - this car ROCKS! Only saw one other marauder the entire trip home...a BLK one w/ the Spoiler option...I waved but don't think he saw me. I agree w/ most, these are entirely too much fun to let sit! (I find highway onramps to be MOST fun in this car!! What a BLAST!) can't wait to meet up w/ most of you all at a future meet!

-you're never too old to have a 'Happy Childhood!' LOL!

[Black 04]

Just turned 4,300 miles. My MM has not seen a drop of rain.

2MEHM75VX3X640533 17xx miles as of june 15th 2008

mabey not the lowest but a great investment for someone.



I summoned up this old post to give us something to read 20 yrs from now and say "why didnt I get that then?"

[Blk Mamba]

I bought mine to drive, not park, 67,xxx.

[whd507]

I hit 111,111 today on the way back from church

[fordman]

My Advise,


Neighbor has a 03 MM 300B. has 5400 miles on it. Wants $23,000 for it. I was going to buy it, and after researching its value through one of my closest friends who owns a Ford Dealer, found out the Trade In was 14K, he said he would give him 12K, and Private Party was around 16K. He said even with a perfect credit score, you would be lucky to get a loan for 18K for it. He happen to get a 03 300A on his lot about 2 months later which I purchased for 10K with 45K miles on it. My neighbor cant find anyone to buy his. My advise, drive them and enjoy the 35K+ you probably spent on them. Who cares what there worth 30 years from now.

[Vortex]

I know lots question us guys who dont have a bunch of miles but I do get out and enjoy mine most every weekend. Its not my daily driver and since it will without doubt be the last body-on-frame car Ill ever buy since they are more or less extinct I want it to last awhile. I worked long and hard to be able to afford a choice of cars to use as my daily driver, suitable for Wal-Mart parking lots ect.....

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

I have 32k miles and that is low "for the model year". I can't imagine storing a FOUR DOOR and not ever driving it. It's a four door!!!!!!!!!!! That's almost like storing an F-150 w/ 50 miles on it.

[Egon Spengler]

The one one on ebay is the lowest i think... 1800 miles!!! I am at almost 76,000 so count me out of that race

[MarauderVOL]

Got 11,500 on my 03 300A.

[TiTo35]

All the low miles guys have low post also...I'm not saying anything but it seems the dedication to the Marauder is on the back burner... just my .02.

[jgc61sr2002]

4,900 miles to date.:D

[Rlutterb]

Anybody still track what is thought to be the lowest mile Marauder?

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

I'm at 24k now. So hard not to drive the snot out of it. Need a beater daily MM.

[Rlutterb]

I bought mine with 8,900 on it last month and have put another 1100 on it.

[stevengerard]

I just drive around in reverse:banana2:

I agree with Stranger. As much as we love these cars they're not like owning a 2006 Ford GT that is now worth $300k because you've kept the mileage low. These cars are drivers, and I thoroughly enjoy driving mine every chance I get. Currently at 44k. That being said if someone gets the same satisfaction as looking at it in their garage as driving it I respect that.

[Shornaday]

Now I know I have hope of buying another low mileage marauder after I drive the heck out of mine for the next 10 years. Mines not a DD, but I do have close to 49,000 on the clock on one and about 130,000 on the other.

Just let them set fellow marauders' If I live long enough I'll be looking for another set of low milers. :drive::burn:

[DrZ]

You all make jealous that I drove my Marauders too much! 140,000 original owner and 132,000 used both 04's. Sell me one of those low mileage cars.:D

[MGDriver]

Mine is a daily driver, bought with 85k two years ago and now at 115k. I enjoy every single mile with it and drive it as much as I can, also in the winter.

However I also love prestine condition low mileage cars, my dream is to find a low mile DBP as a garage queen that I can baby for car shows and nice summer drives. Maybe one day...

[CoreyM75]

I'm holding out hope that someone like Spectragod (no offense, but your car is beautiful and as modded as can be) keeps his until I can buy it at his estate sale for pennies on the dollar.

[Chayton]

there was one not too long ago on craigslist, "still in the wrapper" I believe it had less than 500 miles on it. Maybe even less than 100. It was low.

[primuspilum]

I know a guy with one that is still in the low 2k range.

[LG88]

I try to keep my miles to a minimum, then again I want to enjoy the car so I put about 1000 the last week lol

Mine has zero miles and it's a sore subject.

[1Marauder]

Ok, so I've got a question for you all who are good with motors etc...

Wouldn't you have to completely go through a car that has sat immobile for 14 years. Wouldn't this be bad for a car to simply sit and not roll out vs 25 miles a week or so?

Bought mine at 14,000 now 18,000 in 4 rears
Bought mine at 26,000 now 30,000 in 3 years

[Curless]

[swhornaday]

Yep, Jerry and Chris posted the one on Craigslist with 59 garage miles, always covered in heated garage, never dealer prepped and is still in the wrapper. All plastic still there covering seats steering wheel, shifter, and so on. That has to be the winner...

Not necessarily. If kept in a good environment it can last. Biggest issues will be the rubber parts drying out and exposed metal parts rusting (cylinder walls, brake rotors, etc.).

[Joe Walsh]

That thing is a museum piece, never to be driven again.
who would pay that kind of money for it...
'Unwrap' it...
and then start racking up miles on it?!

BTW: with my constantly disabled engine(s) my Marauder has amassed 17,000 miles.

Yes, and you will no doubt win many awards with it.

Best of all is the "I'm all in" Marauder Award. When can Icome see it?

Trilogy 13 still only has about 1650 miles on it.

I am curious. What do you do with it? Do you show it, do you race it, do you drive it to Cruise Ins, do you smile at it?

Like Hugh Hefner used to say whatever straightens you out.:D

[stevengerard]

I'll be in town for a soccer tournament for the kids in a few weeks, I'll add a few miles to it.

[NorthShoreChiMM]

A blue trilogy with 1650. Those seats just look "never sat in"

[88LTDCV351]

I'd say 62 miles is the lowest, remember?
