Look at the interior pictures and tell me whats wrong with it....I saw 3 things right off the bat.

[RoyLPita]

Same here.
1) Non perforated leather steering wheel.
2) No EATC setup (manual showing)
3) No MM guages (has CVPI setup)

:puke:

[Bluerauder]

Look at the interior pictures and tell me whats wrong with it....I saw 3 things right off the bat.
Check Engine Light on
Temperature is pegged at the high limit
Battery Low light lit

Others ---
It's Orange
with 22" wheels
Spoiler doesn't looked mounted right
Cobra emblem on fenders
No spare tire or donut
Nav system
A/C-Heat unit is different with Knobs
Defroster Button ??? above the Headlight switch

Any others??

[Marauder]

He does say it's a conversion in the description. It looks it was a CVPI. You can see the 140 mph speedo. LX CVs and GMs have digital climate like the MM.

[RCSignals]

He does say


2004 MERCURY MARAUDER, conversion,It is misleading to call it a 2004 Mercury Marauder.

Seems like a waste of Marauder parts

[fastblackmerc]

Marauder wanna-be.

[Richy04]

The rear center armrest is shaped different as well..

[ctrlraven]

Huh? It has light flint interior also. That person went all out on the conversion.

[wchain]

No Tachometer! Wrong headlight switch, looks like a CVPI speedo head....

[MM2004]

Headlight switch and interior dim is all wrong.

This guy did go 'all out' though.

Lots of $$$...

Mike.

x2, although the exterior's close.

Items on the interior give it away.

Wonder if he stuffed a DOHC under the hood?

SCCH

[ckadiddle]

Oh gawd. Anyone want to ride down to Hollywood with me and beat the snot outta him for doing that to a Panther?

[BAD MERC]

Something tells me that there was a stolen/stripped Marauder used for this conversion. I emailed the seller for the VIN. I will post ALL the owner info and vehicle info ASAFP. It is a CVPI, the dimmer control, the A/C controls and the gauges give it away big time.

[Rider90]

Something tells me that with the money he put into the paint, rims, and conversion, he could have gotten a real Marauder. I don't get understand the logic in this. What did he really save, $500.00? Between the exterior and interior. Someone is going to be disappointed when they mash the go pedal.

[BAD MERC]

What is FUNNY, there are even pedal and traction buttons right there on the left. They cannot actually work. I bet that car had a hard life and probably creaks and rattles like a, umm.... a box of creaks and rattles.

[offroadkarter]

Time for the newbies turn, and i did this by myself, ive had this window up for 3hrs and am now responding.

here we go

No EATC

No marauder guages

No tachometer

and there are largely obtrusive boxes in the rear that are definately not found in a marauder.

[Cobra25]

This car has stopped at the Tower Shops not to long ago. It Looks like a Marauder from up close and I spoke to the owners. It need's alot of work. Their was some crown vic parts on it .The wheels are too big and he had a hard time parking it. Their was quite a bit of body work done.Their was a few of us looking at it.

Thats just messed up. Talk about a downgrade

[Zack]

Pimpin aint easy

[CBT]

....at least he didn't paint it a dark pearl blue color....;)

[superford3]

atleast he didnt ruin a good marauder

[knine]

Yea, we don't need any imposters in the rarest and coolest color:cool:

[Raudermaster]

I wanna see engine bay pictures..

[EbonyMarauder03]

He even went to the trouble to get Mercury keys for it. With the money he wasted on it most of us could have built a 750+ HP MM.

[jdando]

Looks like there is a remote fuel door release also.
Wonder what that button does :lol:
