Another marauder wanted thread..lol

[safado]

Hello fellas,
I've made my mind to buy a marauder... So I prefer a maroon one with black interior.. but any in good shape would be considered... I'm on the west coast but willing to travel for the right one... Please let me know what you might have or know... of course the lower the miles the better.. something up to the 45K range...but ya never know...

By the way do the marauder suffer from poor valve guides on the drivers side heads like the aviatrs?




P.S> I tried searching on the site but whats the deal with 300a and b??? thanks guys...

[cyclopsram]

Dark Toreador Red would be the color.. not maroon. There must be a thousand A to B threads on the history. All US cars in 300A for 2003 are black.. Canadians are all 300B. (Job2) In 2004 all US cars are 300A (job1)....2003s are M75s, 2004s are M79

Hi,
I am in the San Diego area and an *thinking* about selling my 03 black marauder. A little modified, alot of fun.
I would be willing to drive up the coast a little meet up with you half way or so, say next friday night or saturday? (I have duty on sunday).
You could take a look and possibly drive her if you like her(meaning, you will drive her!)

anyways, I am not totally convinced on the idea of selling her, but it would give us both a chance to think about it.

be good!
Curt

[safado]

what numbers where you thinking about? and how many are on the clock?
what mods have you done?

[whoskal]

welcome to the site....Good luck in your search

[kartherma]

this marauder is black 03 that I bought in June 05. Many people thought it was possibly the last 03 bought, but there might be one other. warranty started june 05 and ends june08. It had 4.10's put on immediately but the lidio tune is for stock 3.55's. So the clock shows about 28ish...but it is really 24ish due to the difference in gears.
metco upper and lower rear control arms with the metco watts link. addco rear sway bar, I have one for the front in the box...it can go with this marauder or stay with my other marauder. P1AA headlamps, mod grill emblem, rear spoiler, tint beyond dark. minus the after cats and flowmaster 40's added.

Numbers? that is a good question! I just dont know how bad I need to sell it. I probably need to sell it...but I dont want to sell it.
That said, it is just a car in the end and if I have to sell it I have to accept that fact also.
I'll tell you what, give me a pm if interested with phone number and I will call ya...I dont think you will be upset with the price. again, my MAJOR concern is getting this car into the hands of someone who will appreciate it.

be good!
Curt

[safado]

Still looking..... DTR Or Silver....

[1stMerc]

Good luck with your search. There weren't as many DTR's built, and the one's that own them aren't as willing to sale. Count me one of them.

It's a keeper.

whats up with that super duper wing on the back of it?

[Raudermaster]

I'm not a fan of that wing at all. And it's not even a factory option. My friend's g/f's father has that same wing on his '04 SB.
