one totaled marauder - cleveland area...

[a_d_a_m]

one of my co-workers has a part-time job as a towing dispatcher. he told me about this car a few weeks ago, since he knows how much i like them, but said it was completely totaled and there weren't (m)any good parts on it. i couldn't imagine how bad of an accident it was, but the pictures tell the story:

i am trying to get the VIN so you guys know which marauder this was...

[TiTo35]

Well...I am glad the driver got away safely...but that car is...:eek: I almost shed a tear for that Marauder...RIP:alone:

[jgc61sr2002]

WOW that Marauder was moving.

[a_d_a_m]

there was a really beat-up one for sale in this area last year.

i'm kinda hoping that it's the same car, because at least then it wouldn't have been a primo-condition one...

either way, still...OUCH.

[FastMerc]

I wonder whos it was,dam that thing bent.Surprised the pole didnt fall over!

[RoyLPita]

I'll ad that VIN to the list when you post it.

Thanx in advance.

[a_d_a_m]

i'm hoping they still have a record of it.
i don't really know their policies or anything over there.

[ImpalaSlayer]

dude that thing is bad. your buddys right, not much left on that one.

R.I.P. poor girl

[my_rodder]

I dont think that the driver seat will be any good. Even if you cleaned it would still smell like poo. WOW:eek:. Once again a good car saves it owner.

From what I've seen with towing businesses, the VIN is written on the invoice unless the car is still in the yard.

[Breadfan]

WOW...glad the driver was OK.

On another note, I see plenty of salvageable parts. If this car is going to the crusher you need to get these parts off it before hand.

- spoiler
- any good rims
- god's head centercaps
- exhaust tips
- rear lamps and smoked rear reverse lamps
- marauder specific interior parts if OK

That's just what comes to mind...

[CRUZTAKER]

Wow....

I wonder who it was?

[offroadkarter]

Yes i'd say still has parts that we (as the community) need!

[baltimoremm]

Hope everyone was OK. Its always a relief to see that the passenger compartment is largely intact, despite being an extremely hard hit. Coudnt do that in a hyundai.

Its interesting that the windows on the passenger side didnt shatter.

[Ms. Denmark]

That just makes me cry.

[03Farmmarauder]

Prolly need to learn how to drive. The person was driving to fast for what they could handle!!!! What a shame!!!

[BAD MERC]

Okay any members missing? That was one serious wreck.

[Ken]

Okay any members missing? That was one serious wreck.It said that the driver walked away with just scratches.

[TAKEDOWN]

Jesus h christ!!!

[justbob]

Like i was saying last week!

[Blk Mamba]

Adam, was this at Bob's Garage? This is the kind we need to buy.

[Merc220A]

Wow!!!!! That is crazy!

[Motorhead350]

There is no totaled in my world!

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

What a shame, I hate hearing about these things.

[UncleLar]

That poor car really hit hard but it did protect the occupant( I hesitate to say "driver").
I'd say the 3 wheels it's still riding on look good and I believe the right front wheel looks like it wouldn't need much in the way of repairing and there's still a lot of salvageable parts left on it mechanically,and interior wise and even some sheet metal.I'd give a grand or two for it as it sits,the motor,trans and numerous other parts would fit real nice in my P71.

[a_d_a_m]

Adam, was this at Bob's Garage?
yes.


This is the kind we need to buy.
if it could be had for 1-2k, sure. but anything more than that - no way.

[Blk Mamba]

It belonged to a young girl in Mentor, not a member here.

[a_d_a_m]

:mad2:
if she wanted to total a car, she should have traded with me.

[Blk Mamba]

I think this is her second one, maybe the one that was for sale in Eastlake, it only had 43,xxx miles, and her's had over 80,xxx miles.

[UncleLar]

Time for her to pull the cell phone out of her ear and her head out of her azz before she kills somebody!

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

And time to stop selling her MMs.

[SID210SA]

I am sure that the front two wheels are toast....it had to have hit a curb before hitting the pole....so they are prolly bent....and I doubt the engine survived that impact.....imho

[justbob]

I bet even the carpet felt that pole.

[Blk Mamba]

The tow truck driver said that the engine was in the passengers floor board. There was no curb, it was at an intersection of two country roads.

Second mm? :confused: :shake:

Just goes to show, Stupid hurts!

[Blk Mamba]

I'll ad that VIN to the list when you post it.

Thanx in advance.

I checked with the tow company, and they say they didn't get the VIN, I'll contact the police dept. Sat., to try get it.

Thanx for the update.

[Blk Mamba]

I contacted the police, and (drum roll) the number is 2MEHM75V13X632269, (why is mine 23X?)

[OneBADLsE]

ran the car fax on it. Still a clean title!! :D

[Blk Mamba]

Hasn't been totaled yet? Insurance co hasn't paid off yet?

[RoyLPita]

I'll add this to the list. Thanx.


The "2" could also be 1-0 or the letter X. It is basically a check digit.

[FreddieH]

We need to have a "Marauder Moment Of Silence" for that one!

[LVMarauder]

holy ****. How do you know the driver was ok? That thing is amazingly f'd up.

[a_d_a_m]

the tow company that inherited that impound has a very good relationship with our local police departments, so i doubt they'd ever say something untrue, but if it will make you feel better:

the driver is fine.

(yes, this is a fact... :D )

[Bigdogjim]

Sad indeed! .........................
