View Full Version : 2003 Blue Marauder

2003 Blue Marauder 103,783 miles.
100% stock, original paint, original everything, except tires.

Priced for quick sale $9,500 obo

Car is a real highway cruiser. She has spent the first part of her life cruising up and down the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike with a traveling salesman, and more recently faithfully bringing me back and forth to Jersey City, where I get the ferry to NYC.
I bought the car about 8 months ago and the first thing I did to her was:
brand new bf goodrich tires, new fluids thruout, new brakes, and a good wax!

She passed NJ inspections with flying colors and has a valid sticker until 2/09
The car is a pleasure to drive and tracks true and straight and feels more like a 10,000 mile car. I have my new charger that I am using now, and it is time to sell my blue baby.
The air conditioning does not work. The compressor does not come on anymore? It could just be the ac clutch, or it could be the whole compressor. To air on the side of caution, let's assume you will need a brand new compressor. I was going to list her for 10k, but have discounted her accordingly.
I will post some pics below.
I am located in Marlboro NJ.
thanks marauder.net for the add.

Any high mileage Marauder looks like that due to the springs sagging.

it looks like darksides original owner had put explorer springs in his car right before he sold it to him.

Guys and Gal's,
I should add that this is a GREAT car at a now GREAT price.
I am in NJ and anyone nearby can come and look at it and test drive it.
I posted a boatload of pictures, so you could see every nook and cranny on the car. If you click the "slideshow" feature, you can see the pictures much larger.
I have my new charger srt8 that i am now using exclusively, so I just don't need or use the blue merc anymore.
I have received a couple of pm's asking "what is my bottom price?"
I am not a dealer, just a guy selling his marauder.
Today's price is 8500.
and yes, i paid much higher than 8500 to buy her almost a year ago.
then put new tires, new brakes, and a complete tune up into.
i am sure 4$ gas has alot to do with prices as of late, especially on v-8 cars.
all well, that is the way it goes sometimes.

ok, it's been a little over a month here and i need to try and find a larger audience. i figured i would give an mmnet enthusiust first shot at the car, but it seems like just too many mm's are for sale right now with not enough buyers.
she is on ebay now, my first time, with no reserve.
i think this is the item # 250278774794
thanks to everyone who pm'd and emailed me, it was nice speaking with everyone!
wish me luck!:)

can the mods lock this thread for me please.
thanks.

I would advise you to set a reserve for it, a silver trilogy Marauder sold for like 11k without a reserve

shor
08-04-2008, 10:47 AM
thanks, but wherever she sells she sells.
i dont want to keep insurance on both cars, and i dont want her to just sit. and it certainly is not going to be worth more next summer.
somebody should be using her and enjoying her.
i guess a silver trilogy is worth 11k in todays market.
the market will let us know what my blue one is worth.
less for sure, but that is ok with me.

PS you do realize that there is no way to change the compressor without losing the refrigerant, since you open the system to take the compressor off...........

No, they have machines that vacuum the system and store it while you replace components. No loss.

Exactly. Worth = what a willing and able buyer will pay.

Anybody that lists their car for some book's set value is "hoping" for a sale. Not trying to sell. big difference. Which is why I'm selling mine for so cheap. I need it gone. I've never held on to any car I've tried to sell for more than a few weeks.

Thats freaking hilarious 11k for a silver trilogy. Wish I woulda spotted that one.

You recently listed the following auction-style listing:

250278774794 - Mercury


The listing was removed because it violated the eBay Accepted Payments policy. The violation occurred when you included the following information in your listing:

cash



We notified members who placed bids on the item that the listing has been canceled.

Safety and convenience are the most important aspects of eBay's policy on payments. Our goal is to ensure safe online shopping and to encourage members to use online payment methods that are secure, easy to use, and reliable. They should also offer high levels of protection for both buyers and sellers. Because cash payments do not offer the same level of protection and convenience as online payment methods, members are generally not permitted to accept cash as a payment method on eBay. Sellers are permitted to accept cash on delivery (COD) but only for in-person transactions. Personal checks, money orders, cashier's checks, certified checks, and bank-to-bank transfers are also permitted.

For more information on the eBay Accepted Payments policy, please visit:

Stranger in the Black Sedan
08-05-2008, 05:57 AM
He's full of ****, I barely looked at his ebay listing, much less reported it. F off shor. Shor is bitter because I questioned his comment about "you don't even have to charge the AC because it is already charged, just replace the compressor". I would not have even known the difference between "cash" and "cash in person". I personally don't like blue marauders and would not be looking closely enough at his auction to worry about how it was going to be paid for.

Shor does not even know my ebay user name. If he does, he can post it up to prove what he is alleging. No one on this board knows my ebay ID including him. Also an ebay rep would never give out the user ID of someone who reported a listing.

That wasn't a nice thing to do, those barbies had on thongs. Now I had to go and buy more clothes for them and relist 'em. I thought that with the one off barbie in the diecast one of a kind Marauder, I would be able to trade up for the real thing. ;)
