Still looks bad :(

[TAKEDOWN]

Seen it before, you it's a pretty ugly one alright!

They couldn't accompliss much on looks in the couple weeks since we saw that car last.

A little work and a few changes and that car could be ok. The paint is different but not the ugliest Ive seen.

I like the interior painting!

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Yeah this on stock Marauder wheels is not ugly.

News to me. Is that the PHP Marauder from 03 04 SEMA , I was just mentioning that on another site. I say this becuase the side front door panels have Godsheads and MARAUDER on the side. IS this a copy cat or a repaint. Hopefully a repaint wanna be and not the bastardized PHP Nightstalker.

Thats a waste of an excellent paint job (no orange peel/waves in the paint).

I like the interior painting!

Same here!

Yeah this on stock Marauder wheels is not ugly.

I agree, and would make the grill the lighter blue instead of the darker blue they made it.

It could have been blue originally, just by looking at the doorjams which look DPB.

That car is a major piece of crap. I drove it when it was posted here before hoping that I could get it cheap to offset the costs to fix it back to blue. The dealer if it could be called that is a major exporter of cars to Saudi Arabia and Kuiwat. They do not care if you buy the car or not, everycar that they have is for overseas. They price most of thier cars higher than comparable cars in the area to deter them from being sold in the US. I waited 30 minutes in the waiting room just to get the keys to test drive the car. That was after standing outside for 15 minutes without a salesman coming out to help me.

The car looks much much better in the picures than in person. The paint does have orange peel and there is no blend between the top and bottom colors. The door jams, under hood and under the trunk are painted the top color. There is overspray on the underside of the car. The interior looks like a poorly treated theft recovery. The radio is not hooked up and actually fell out of the dash when I test drove the car. There are tiny circle speakers (1 and 1/2 inch diameter) either screwed or velcroed to the A and B pilliars. Some were screwed down and some were velcroed on. The seats were stained, there were rips in the drivers seat, the back passenger's side seat, the passengers side nearest the door side had a rip in it. The center console was loose and did not latch. The gauges infront of the shifter were foggy, there were tons of little scratches all over the center console, door panels and any other plastic. The headliner was ripped, and stained. The airbag logo was dented (how on earth does that happen).

The car had a major trans shudder when it was warm. The engine did run great and the car accelerated like it was on fire. Much stronger than other MM's that I have driven. There were no mods that I could see to the car. The tires were getting bald and each rim had at least one curb rash. Even though there was a ton of stuff wrong with the car, they refused to even budge on the price. I offered 8k cash and they laughed at me. The alure of getting a DPB made me try to buy it, just not at anywhere near the price that they wanted. The worst by far MM that I have test driven. The camel jockeys can have this one.
