Been here for a while, the waiting finally paid off!!

[Merc4Hire]

Been wanting a Marauder for a while now, and I'm proud to say the day has come! It all came together so quick it was unbelievable!! I was originally going to bu Go Mifuni's car, but I found one I'd be stupid to refuse...

03 MM, black, owned by a 60yr old, 50k original miles, all options but sunroof, 4 brand new tires, receipts for all service work, car's CLEAN!! Undercarriage is dry and rust free, no leaks anywhere at all, motor bay is nice looking, interior is great.

[Pops]

Congrats on your find! Now let the fun begin. :D

My God...Sweet deal...:welcome:

NOW!

LOL! I will, it's dirty right now though. I should have it legal soon and when it is it'll get washed nice and then I'll have some pics.

It's friggin SWEEEEET though!!! Carfaxed it, perfect...checked everything out, runs excellent, shifts perfect, extremely clean and dry chassis...everything's in awesome shape. These are the only known defects...

-side mirrors work wierdly (they move but pick random directions to go rather than where you want it...whoop-dee-doo)
-hairline crack in the dash bezel around the gauges, I'll just get another one for dirt if it really bothers me
-rear passenger seatbelt is chewed in 1 small spot (had his dog in the car once and the damn thing ate it)

Such a terrible list of defects, no?:shake: LOL!:D

So really all it needs, from my perspective...is a large injection of testicular fortitude, some tint, a nice stereo, and presto...it's DONE! I may have gotten one of the deals of the century here! And on top of that the guy left the price blank on the title and said tell them I paid whatever I want! :beer:
Funnier yet, there was another black 03 at the dealer right across the street from where we met for $16k.

PM RoyLPita with your VIN, he'll run an OASIS report on the car for you as well as provide the sequence number.

Oh, and BTW, :welcome:

Great find. Welcome to Marauderville. Dennis:beer:

[TAKEDOWN]

Good for you, I'm glad everything worked out! Like I tell everyone, when the timing is right she'll reveal herself to you! NOw she needs a name and a theme song! Get on it!

[Merc4Hire]

HA! Easy one...

Nickname: "Porkchop"

Theme Song: ACDC - Back in Black

Pokchop? There's gotta be a back story to this one....:D

[Merc4Hire]

Pokchop? There's gotta be a back story to this one....:D

LOL! Nah, not much...it's just that the marauder has always reminded me of a disgruntled, chopped up, hot-rodded cop car. And there's a diecast model company that made models of drag car ex-police mustangs, caled "Porkchop Specials". I laughed my ass off at the name. Hence, "Porkchop".:beer:

[FreddieH]

Congrats, and hope you can make it to some meets and Carlisle, Where in New Jersey do you Maraud from.

Yep, I have people say "Rocky Mountain Way!" quite often.
When I was in junior high I had a schoolmate named James Hendricks...:lol:
Hope to meet you at a meet sometime soon...maybe Carlisle?

[Dark_Knight7096]

Congrats on your purchase!!! Sure I'll see you around at some local meets.

[Bradley G]

Sounds like you did very well! Enjoy and congrats!

NICE!! Joe Walsh & Yimmy in the same school, it's very "school of rock" esque. LOL! My cousin's best friend's name is James Brown and years back before I knew him he called my house. I read the caller ID and went up to my mother singing "I FEEL GOOD, HAAA!!!" She called me an *******.:D

And yea, I think it's about time I hit up Carlisle. My old Feature Mustang convertible is always there too, I could BS with my buddy who has it now. When is it? If you remember, remind me and I'll catch a lot of you guys there!

[Embassy]

Congrats. Now bring her down to the Annual Regional Kentucky Meet in March.

THANKS EVERYBODY!!! The weather out here sucks right now but I'll snap some pics as soon as it clears up and I can wash it.

The snow and salt doesn't make for good pics. It's been dry for 2 days now but with a snow storm coming monday I figured a wash would be a waste of money.

[Taemian]

Great deal and great car. Welcome aboard!

[Merc4Hire]

PICS!!!!!

Just took them earlier. It was a cheapie car wash so it'll get cleaner yet, but you get the idea. Only 1 scuff mark on the rear bumper but it'll come out with rubbing compound. Whatcha think? Not bad for $10.5k!! Just won a set of brand new MEGS resonator delete tips for dirt on e-bay, and a stocker throttle body too(for a street port, it was $13.50 shipped!!):banana:
