Hello everyone new guy here got a few ?'s

[mikeyg402]

hello, my name is mike im from Omaha,Ne. Currently not a owner of a marauder, but a owner of 95 Grand Marquis. I finally found one that looks to be in good shape in this part of the country.

My question is is this a good price for this vehicle?

:welcome1: MIKE !!

As for the price, it's about average for now, but if you hold out you may find one a bit less expensive (notice I didn't say cheaper!)

Check the classifieds here, these cars are well cared for. Fly somewhere, pick up your new baby and enjoy the ride home. Here's a nice one too, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercury-Marauder-2003-Blue-Mercury-Marauder-FREE-SHIPPING-W-BUY-IT-NOW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategory Z6882QQihZ017QQitemZ2701161359 83QQrdZ1

Nice color too! only 1 0f 328 BLUE's built.

I believe there is a member from Lincoln that could help you decide if the car is worth buying.

If you are serious about this one, PM RoyLPita and ask him nicely to run an OASIS report. This will show all service work done on the vehicle by any Ford, Lincoln and/or Mercury dealer.

Welcome Mike :welcome1:

I estimate between $19K and $21K in good condition with average miles. This one looks to be an early 300A model and has fairly low miles. Also looks to be in very good shape. Your call on whether it is worth the price to you.

[Zack]

Too much.
You can find one with that mileage for 17-18k.

One with 18k just sold on this site for 15,300

[LordVader]

Have agree with too much. I paid that for mine with 13K on it in OCT '04.

really? wow thats awesome! I almost bought one brand new from Woodhouse here in town new. I think they wanted 33k if i remember right.

I think i am going to continue my search. I really dont want i black one but at the same time i do. I work in the auto collision industry and well i hate black. What i really want is silver. Ive owned a white car/silver car/light blue & white truck/ and a few others in silver. Also my Grand marquis that is a darker red. I cant take this darker color stuff anymore, its driving me up the wall with swirl marks and how fast they get dirty:mad2:.

So im on the look out for a silver one for sure. I will drive anywhere in the country to buy one. Also i will be taking it to Las Vegas soon as well. I am moving to Henderson for more career opportunities.
