Sorry to hear than Rich...I know you put lots of live and care into that baby! Seen it a couple of times and its a keeper y'all!

[Aren Jay]

It is like Carrol Shelby selling his Mustang and buying a F350 and a pair of Ranger Rzr's.

[Hotrauder]

Rich's Marauder is the buy of the century. Hell, the nav/sound system is worth half the asking price and this car is immaculate and truely one of one. This won't last long. Dennis

[Local Boy]

Life IS change, and change we must...

I applaud your acceptance of this fact, my Brutha...

All the best, my friend...

With or without a MM, you got family in the Islands...

BTW: This IS the sale of the year!...Someone is going to score BIG TIME!!!

Hey Rich,

I will spread the word about this deal of the century. Do you have any recent pics to post.

Good Luck

Dave

[Blk Mamba]

The gallery is down till next week, can you post a pic for my wife to see, this would be better than a blue.

[O's Fan Rich]

... damn.... hope you're good, Rich

[magindat]

It is like Carrol Shelby selling his Mustang and buying a F350 and a pair of Ranger Rzr's.

While this statement is amazingly flattering, I'm certainly not worthy of such comparison!

Besides this sale is not for charity sir!

I think so , yes.

[magindat]

I think so , yes.
Then go ahead and give a call!!!

[MarauderTJA]

I love ya Rich! But you are going to seriously regret doing this:shake:. And Jamie will too:(

[Blk Mamba]

Then go ahead and give a call!!!


I think I'm going to go to the bank in the morning. The paint didn't excite my wife as I had hoped, (she said she would have to see it), but said see what we can do.

[magindat]

I love ya Rich! But you are going to seriously regret doing this:shake:. And Jamie will too:(

We talked long and hard about the time we spend together. We've decided that rather than spend cash on two fronts, we're gonna concentrate on 4-wheelin and mud. How lucky am I as a Dad to be able to hang with my daughter like that?!

We talked today and she and I BOTH want to continue to attend the gatherings a few times per year!

I got a kick ass deal on a truck, but the MM has to go to make the deal stick. I want desperately for it to stay in the family with someone who can use it right, and not just rack miles on it (as I am now).

Tom, I take your comments as a picture of your, concern, care and co-marauder-y and I thank you! i promise I won't regret it. I'll MISS it, but I won't REGRET it!

[magindat]

I think I'm going to go to the bank in the morning. The paint didn't excite my wife as I had hoped, (she said she would have to see it), but said see what we can do.

The paint was inspired by the Gurney and Yarborough 69 Cyclones. It was not a haphazard design. Like FOOSE, it has heritage. Look up one of those and you'll get the idea!

I think I'm going to go to the bank in the morning. The paint didn't excite my wife as I had hoped, (she said she would have to see it), but said see what we can do.

Besides, for this price, you could paint it back to black. I taped off the door jambs and stuff to stay black.

[Blk Mamba]

I'm not the one who has to be convinced, I already am.

I'm not the one who has to be convinced, I already am.

.....................how long will it take you Blue Folks to realize that you are
WAY OVER MATCHED>>>>in all colors!!:lol::lol:

[Marauderman]

Rich--Aside from my fun in my last post to Cheesehead---I am sorry to see your sale of your MM--It was such an inspiring car to me in the younger years here on the board...and @ MVIV too have finally seen it in person--I thought to myself--that darn thing is real--really painted that way --not photo choped--( as I had thought) well my goodness----and I felt so good about it afterwards--and to meet you and your daughter and have dinner at a later event together with my Ms M......gosh---it just won't seem right not having that silver/and black / w/green trim apart of our existance----its' funny--if you have been here as long as I have--you'd seen and read alot--and I've seen alot of friends come and go--but some things --well you just don't want them to change nor go away --and thats your MM----you can stay--LOL--anyway--hope all works out for you and Jamie---it just won't seem right seeing you again some day and you not be in that special colored MM of "ours"......Tom

[magindat]

Today I met a new friend. Ryan, Tyrfyr and I had a talk. We spoke of car stereo, life changes, children and of course, my car.

During our talk, I heard children in the background. As we spoke and got to know each other, I was gettin' a little choked up. This is the right move.

It looks like the Magindat Marauder will become the Tirefryr Marauder. Fitting, she kinda always was a tire fryer!!!!

Sounds like her life as the consummate road warrior will continue. She'll continue in the hands of another audio geek who'll appreciate her old skool amp and hand built woofer. Also sounds like she'll be enjoyed with kids and protect them as she has mine. Most important, it seems Ryan will keep her in the collective...

So, all in all, it appears my intentions have hit the mark. It seems the car will fit Ryan's life. It seems the deal will suit us both nicely. I feel awesome knowing we are helping one another continue with life and family changes.

I look forward to her going to her new home and knowing a new friend.

Ryan, I'll be in touch! Thank you sir.

Rich

Tom, thanks. As Dave and Randy posted earlier, friendships will continue and as you saw, the car will continue to be in the 'family'.

[magindat]

I would and you know it!!!

Now that you've made sure the car stays in the community, we have to deal with part 2.......Making sure YOU stay in the continuum.

Assuming this all works out according to plan, I'll drop down there on a monthly night with the FX4 F150 with matching 4-wheeler in the bed!
[/Fingers crossed]

I intend to remain. Maybe not as active, but a presence nonetheless.

Thanx!

[RoyLPita]

What year FX4 F150?

Rich, would you please answer my question?

[ckadiddle]

Somebody puhleeeze buy this car! Rich ran with me at MVIV and his MM was my wedding limo a year and a half ago. If I wasn't financially strapped, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it and then sell one of the other MMs. This car is danged clean and very very lovingly modified. Top notch EVERYTHING!! If things weren't bad and looking worse for us, I would be all over this like white on rice.

The photos I took do NOT do the paint job justice. It looks much much better in person.

These are MVIV pics I took:

Geez Rich, what is the rush here:confused:. Someone will buy your car for the amount you want. I'll be really surprised if the dealership will offer you 9K. It seems like you are on a mission and losing site of reality for a truck :depress:. I respect your decision, but man....slow down.... You know I am your friend, just voicing an opinion here.:beer:

When I was forced to sell my Procharger S/C kit due to several severe financial set backs, I got a few bites...then nothing!
I was losing hope that I would be able to sell the S/C kit,
BUT.....I continued to wait and eventually Dave (blazen71) bought it at a great price that was close to what I was asking for the kit.

BTW: Sorry to see you sell your Bad Boy Marauder...:(

[ckadiddle]

Thanx, Pete.

You're welcome. It's all truth. It's killing me that I cannot take it off your hands right now. How often can you find a supercharged Marauder for 11,500???? Huh????? As far as Marauders go, it's one of a kind...how often do you get a chance to own a one of a kind vehicle?

I fear that a dealership will offer you only peanuts due to it's highly modded state. If I owned a dealership, it would be shined up and made the centerpiece of the showroom.

[Cobra25]

Rich please take your time and get a good or fair price for your marauder. Your giveing it away for what your asking for it. I just want to see you do good in the sale my friend.

Imma slap both of you two!!! Go half on it?? Hey I am just pondering ideas myself...I am thinking that that car wont last long if it goes to just anyone. :(

[OneBADLsE]

I cant believe what im seeing. I really cant.

11,500....it makes me believe that these cars are really going down the toilet.

[OneBADLsE]

how many miles does it have??

[BODYMAN]

I beleive Rich said it had 87,XXX but dont qoute me on that. snizzle the wife wont let me buy another or I will be flying to fla. If he would have came up with this 3-months ago I would have bought this!!instead of the one I got. I wish him the best :beer:

[a_d_a_m]

those subsequent pictures make it look a LOT better than the first picture i saw.

IF I EVER GET MY ****TY MARQUIS FIXED and this car is still available, i'm interested.

[Rawderboy]

I read your post man and i wish i would have waited till now cuz I just dropped a MM 04 this past August. They are becoming popular again here in Detroit MI again after the Dodge Charger craze... everyone traded their cars in or ran them into the ground. Ill ask around because its hard to find a clean MM here in MI!! Best of luck to ya dude!!

[magindat]

Thanks guys. I respect your opinions and friendly help and advice.

I've built MANY custom cars that have become VERY well known, not unlike this one. At some point, it gets to me. It kinda happens all at once and I want my anonymity back. Some time in the future, the bug bites me again and the cycle repeats itself.

Without a doubt, this has been the best run and I WILL maintain the friendships I've been privileged to enjoy.

The values are NOT in the toilet.

When I customize, I never expect to get any of it back. I pay to play, and believe me, I've gotten my money's worth!!! The way I feel about this car and community, I see breaking even as an opportunity for someone to enjoy something they normally never would have been able to. Just ask NOT-50 about THAT!

So, if the dealer breaks me even or someone buys it, I'm good. If not, I'll drive it while it sits here for sale for a few more dollars than it's listed now.

I didn't get a call from the dealer today, so it's available till at least Monday.

Pete, Thanks for your comment on the phone. He said the best gift you can give anyone is that of your time. That's the gift I seek to give my daughter. She deserves it. And that's the gift someone will get if they own this car...

[magindat]

86K miles
20K miles supercharged
46K on the trans and driveline
Never ever a lick of mechanical trouble

[Blk Mamba]

The bank wants me to pay off the '05 Silverado, ($2000) first, maybe right after the first of the new year.

[bob6364]

If i hadn't just co-signed for my son :mad2::mad2::mad2:

[OneBADLsE]

86K miles
20K miles supercharged
46K on the trans and driveline
Never ever a lick of mechanical trouble

For a second i thought it had 40,xxx miles on it ...then the current asking price is right where it should be ;)

And you're right. Do not expect a penny back for what you put into it. The value remains what it is... I learned that on all my vehicles.

[Windsor58]

Come on - SOMEBODY help a brother out, here.
Tell your neighbors and friends.
This is too great a car and Rich is too good a friend to let this car get traded in!!
He is doing this for a noble cause - spending more time with his daughter. I hate to see him out of this car, but have to respect his dedication to what is really important here. In another time and with another bank account, I'd buy it just to save it from the dealer.

Hope you are successful in getting what you need for the car, in the timeframe you need it, Rich.

I think one challange is the paint on the car. I'm sure you absolutly love it but it narrows the window to a "Certain" buyer. Know what I mean?

Absolutely. If it was any stock color, I would have flown down this past weekend for the price.

[03calitejas]

I have a potential buyer for this car...I just PM'd Magindat and hope he's not at the dealer trading it in right now. If anyone can share his phone # w me in a PM, I'd appreciate it.

Happy Holidays to all my MM brethren

:beer:

[magindat]

I have received no PM

cell 772-216-XXXX

[Agent M79]

The paint? Hell, for what he wants for it, you could buy it and get it painted whatever color you want and still be ahead.

I think he said he even taped off the the door jambs, etc. so a repaint to black(?) could be done easier.

If I was employed steadily, I would have done just that. Buy it. Paint it. Drive it like a maniac.

[Blk Mamba]

I really wish this sale was in 3 months from now, I would have taken it at $13,000. I just can't do it now. My loss.

[ckadiddle]

Some short, blurry vid clips of Magindat beating up on me at MVIV. They sound good though. Keep in mind this was long before the s/c was installed, so he only beat me by a few seconds. :)

Does this have a salvage title?

[ckadiddle]

I don't think so. Send Rich a PM.

[offroadkarter]

The car was traded in 2 days ago :(

50 bucks says it ends up a donk

[03calitejas]

Rich,

My bro isn't able to make a commitment on the car at this point but I will be up visiting him with mine in a week. If he drives mine and finds he loves the MM as much as I do, I'll get back to you. I know you gotta do what you gotta do so I may have to traqck the car down in a week or two if its still available.

My best to you sir...enojoy the holidays and go tromping around in the woods with your lil lady there.

lol all i see is 772-216-XXXX i even tried guessing the last 4 numbers j/k

I think i got an email from you!!!

Feel free to call. I didn't want to bug anybody during the holidays

[gcgarner]

Still for sale? Just curious.

[Paul]

If you're interested in a Marauder, better jump on this one while you can. Rich is a member of the old-guard of this forum (look at his post count - you don't cross 6,400 posts easily), meaning he's lavished thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in perfecting this car. He's a man with a very generous nature and an honorable soul - if he says something is true, it is. You would be hard-pressed to find a supercharged car with the sound system he's got at this price and in this condition anywhere else. Snooze and lose.

[ckadiddle]

Somebody PLEASE buy this car before I sell the house and buy it. K?

[magindat]

I've met some really cool people discussing the car on the phone. Thanx for the interest. For some reason I'm not getting PMs like I should. I have received afew emails and have followed up on the call backs save for one I just got moments ago.

With any luck, the foot-draggin dealer will have provided the time window necessary for her to find a good home.

Thanx to all those who have vouched for the car - and it's owner, too.

- Rich

[Aren Jay]

seems this may be a mute post after all.

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

MOOT not mute

[SC Cheesehead]

So Rich, what's the latest?

[magindat]

Nuther potential deal fell through. Dealer wants answers. :confused:

Waiting for news..... they only want to give me 8K on trade now. They can stick that up their :mad2:!

If this deal don't fly, I'm gonna have to give this beautiful FX4 F150 back.

:bigcry:

Then I'll have the Marauder dealer prepped, take a ton of photos and post it for sale properly - maybe even on ebay - and get 15K.

Man, I cannot BELIEVE your car won't sell.

Don't go for the 8K trade-in, that guy oughta be shot for even making such a stoopid offer!

Hang in there, Rich!

[gcgarner]

I agree ... I was the latest potential buyer that didn't come through. I feel like you could get your price for this car, Rich. It will just take some patience. Don't let the dealer jerk you around. If you have to, give them the truck back, sell your car for what it's worth to someone who really wants it, then go buy another truck at a different dealer and use the extra cash for those 4-wheelers you and your daughter want. As much as car dealers are hurting right now, you think they'd go out of their way to make a deal with you.

For those reading this, I have to say that anyone that has said anything good about Rich is absolutely right. A real pleasure to talk to. I said when I first came on this board that I wasn't interested in buying Rich's car ... but then I thought it might be too good of a deal to pass up ... but after talking to my Dad (whose opinion holds A LOT of merit with me) and searching my soul, this car just wasn't a fit for me.

[DJCV]

I'm not in the market......but anyone who is halfway thinking about it better step up and buy this darn car right now.

[Marauderman]

am curious...........what did your Dad say that made you feel it was not the car for you..??? Are you willing to tell us......cause we all had you as the new owner.......after all.....you pretty much agreed that it was the car with the right price-----.......just curious........Thanks.....Tom

Under-hood pics to be taken in the morning...

[fastblackmerc]

am curious...........what did your Dad say that made you feel it was not the car for you..??? Are you willing to tell us......cause we all had you as the new owner.......after all.....you pretty much agreed that it was the car with the right price-----.......just curious........Thanks.....Tom

I'd like to know why your Dad doesn't think the MM was "right" for you.

[freakstatus]

I can't believe this is still available. I bought mine last year for $22,500. If I was in the market now, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it and ship it up here...granted I would paint it black and restore the stock look.

[Raudermaster]

I'd like to know why your Dad doesn't think the MM was "right" for you.

And not to mention you're 31 and still asking him for advice?

[MeadeRaudeR]

Why wouldn't he ask his father for advice?!? Very few people on this earth you can trust, one's father SHOULD be one of them. That being said, I can't believe no one has bought this car-the ONLY thing stopping me from buying it is my wifes irreversible hatred of fomoco-she will not drive my car for anything-her choice. Women are strange........

[magindat]

Leave him alone, Jarod. We're all friends here....

[fastblackmerc]

That makes sense. Could be harder to sell down the road. Just like selling a furnished house.... some people wouldn't like your taste.

[Blk Mamba]

every one wants it or would buy it if they had not bought one recently, as I've said before, in three, to four months I'll be in the market, but that is an eternity to the seller...

[DTRMiguel]

Um lets trade. :D Interested?

[Aren Jay]

Um lets trade. :D Interested?

Ironically he could probably sell yours for more or easier.

PS there are now officially 983 DTR's.

What would happen if you parted out the SC? would it sell better stock, but for paint?

[Spectragod]

Wow, not sold. If anyone is remotly considering this purchase, consider what your going to be getting.

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a S/C, almost 6k alone, I'm wondering if I should just buy another car.

GL with the sale, let's hope it goes to a member, not a dealer.

[gcgarner]

I'd like to know why your Dad doesn't think the MM was "right" for you.
And not to mention you're 31 and still asking him for advice? Actually, I knew in my heart all along that it wasn't right. It just seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. Magindat's car is the farthest thing in the world from stock, and while it was handled with much care and every modification was done perfectly and well-documented along the way, he reminded me that since I hadn't done any of the work myself, I would have a hard time fixing anything that might go wrong. This is going to be a DD, not a garage queen. And no matter how reliable it is now, something is bound to go wrong in the near future. And even with Rich's full support, he's still 10 hours away from me.

Also, when it comes to cars, I couldn't think of a better person's advice to ask than my Dad's. I am very lucky to have a Dad that took me to car shows even before I could walk. He was turning wrenches before a lot of you were born. I grew up riding in a '63 Vette split window (this one sold on Barrett-Jackson a couple of years back for 75 large ... unfortunately we sold it in '83), '66 GTO convertible (389 tri power), 56 Crown Vic, 55 Chevy convertible, 56 Nomad (he still has this one), 56 Coupe DeVille (still has this one too), 57 Chevy 2-door post, 55, 56, and 57 matching white T-birds, 61 T-bird, too many Cadillacs and Lincolns to mention, and many, many, many more ... and none were garage queens (then). We never had "normal" cars. I would never buy a car with any potential collector value without asking his opinion. I hope others are as lucky to have such a great Dad.

Please don't make posts just to try and insult or belittle someone. Especially when it has no merit.

Under the hood looks good, Rich. What is the latest?

[Vortech347]

Note: if trying to sell a car use a high quality camera, not a cell phone. Pictures/presentation is everything.

it is a real camera... too large/clear for cell phone...

My old digital (8-9 years old) takes similiar pics outside. Its probably just not as nice as many peoples?

[ckadiddle]

Will somebody PLLLLEEEEAAASSSEEE buy this car?????????????

I'd love to, finance me.

+1...Well said. I too have this priveledge and ask my dads advice all the time....and not just about cars. My dad is 71 now and as we get older I find myself appreciating his advice more and more.

[Richy04]

You owe no one an explanation, your dads word is gold and thats it.. The car is worth every penny of what he is asking, it is assembled to the highest standards with the utmost care with the best of materials as far as I can see, but its just not in the cards for you. I think the car is real nice and a good deal, but just not for you.

But if you did buy it, and took care of it, I am sure it would be as reliable as any other that is taken care of. I bought mine with 38k miles loaded with a warranty. So far its been pretty good to me, I did have to open the hood a few times, but I consider working on cars as entertainment. I do all of my own work and troubleshooting, the benefit of being in the car repair and parts business for over 20 years. I took that with me at least. There are some things I do take her in for, like alignments, tires, etc.

I havent done that for a living since 1997 but I still go for classes every now and then and I have my own electronics bench for the repair of the motors and modules along with a nice size garage and a host of tools.

All of this keeps me from killing people, since its like therapy..

[a_d_a_m]

my aunt totalled her 3000GT a few months back and hasn't replaced it with anything yet...she's still wearing a cast and taking pain meds. but i know she's going to want a toy soon, and i showed her this...

she liked it quite a bit, but like a few others here, it's not the right time for her.

[MM03MOK]

Just a reminder that this thread is in the Classifieds section. For Rich's benefit in selling his car, please keep to the topic of a great Marauder needing a loving home. TNX.

[gcgarner]

:agree:

But somehow I've noticed on this board that threads get way out of control real quick ... like my "Wanted" classified that has turned into a discussion about cutting the B pillars on a Marauder and also adding 4WD. :rolleyes:

OK ... back to topic.

[magindat]

Just a reminder that this thread is in the Classifieds section. For Rich's benefit in selling his car, please keep to the topic of a great Marauder needing a loving home. TNX.

Mary, just delete this thread all together, please. It's not gonna happen in the allotted time, so I'll go to plan B and post it for sale properly and for a proper price a bit further down the road.

Thanx friends.

Rich

[MM2004]

Rich,

I am sorry you haven't sold your beloved MM as of late.

It is a great car and will serve well that right person that takes ownership of her.

I uploaded these to your gallery for future use..
