So, a few weeks ago my g/f hit a patch of ice and tagged a telephone pole (she's ok thank God) and surprinsingly her Sorento held up very well against it. She only needs a new hood, bumper cover + supports, and a driver headlight. I gave her her old car back to drive (Mirage) until hers gets fixed. So, she asked where to go to get it fixed, I told her a place here in town since my Dad knows the guy who owns it and has always been a family friend. Does great work too btw, it's a restoration place. So, today she went down to give the final papers from her ins. co, she started talking with him for a while, asked how I was doing and whatnot, if I still had my SHO. She explained I sold it and whatnot, and I could have sworn he knew I had a MM. He tells her, "OMG HE HAS A MARAUDER?!?!" So she tells him how long I've had it etc. that it's a money pit to me (haha) and I'm in love with it. Out of no where, he tells her he has a wrecked one in one of the bays, she went and saw it and she said she was like :eek: when he opened the doors. The good news though, I guess it wasn't totalled, he bought it from an insurance company and he's going to fix it up and keep it for himself! I was pleased to hear this now I won't have the only MM in town anymore. Don't have all the specs, but I believe it's an '03A Black. He wants me to come down Saturday so he can take a look at exactly all the parts he needs. I'll get pics when I go down. Could this be Adam12's car? Or did his get completely totalled? Oh, and sorry for the long post lol.

if it has 8145 miles on her and was hit in the right front thats my car! wtf if it is....its a total loss by mass law but thats because they wanted to use
factory parts....but if they didnt want to it isnt totaled. let me know if it is i still have the air box for her.

I though the Insurance had to give the owner first chance for salvage rights?

They do in NJ & Pa. I know for sure?

Obviously the owner didn't want it. I'll let you know Adam. Maybe I can convince him to get a badgeless from Zack. I'm eager to go down and see it, but I'm busy this week until Saturday. This is a good opportunity to do my S-55's and do them on his too!

what really sux is i wanted to keep the car but if it gets a salvage title you have to pay off the bank loan and then id have to pull money out of my ass to fix her...so i lets her go and made money off of it. but it def was had to let such a nice car go. o well one mans loss is anothers gain. if it is mine i def want to know where its at id love to go check her out.

Alright thanks for the VIN. I wish I had some stock stuff so I could give him, but I really don't have any cosmetic things, hell I need a grille myself lol. I'll probably talk him into a tune, I'll let him drive mine stock then with it in.

Here are pics: I don't think this is Adam's car after all. He picked it up from Blue Hill Lincoln/Mercury in Canton. Believe it or not, this thing only has 9,000 miles on it! All he knows is that it came from a Lady. He's going to need some of the MM "specific" parts so I told him I'd keep an eye out. The funny thing is though, when this thing was sitting at the dealer, they actually took parts out of it! It is an A, so they full size spare is gone, the freakin' console gauges were yanked too! He needs tips, since the ones on there are mangled. Hopefully Wes still has a set left.

Some of you may cry when seeing this, but Kevin is the man at body work, this is merely an appetizer for him. He hopes to have it done within the upcoming month. I already talked him into a tune :D.

Jarod, if he needs anything that interchanges with a cv sport, there's one at the salvage yard i work at. it'll be piled soon. I think mostly whats left is interior pieces though.

Have him sign up in the website and in the local thread so we know of him and his status with this vehicle... maybe he can do mine S55 as well and get a little group deal going or something? Let me know how much they will cost to have done and I will think about it

I think MA has the highest population of marauders in the whole US!!! Wrecked or not... I cannot believe the amount of marauders there are in these parts!!
