It's time to part with my Marauder. My job has changed and I need to get better than the 21 mpg I have been getting. Here's the story on the car:

My father's company leased it for him as his daily ride. He bought it off lease at the end and was going to sell it. I started a sales job and the car was a perfect fit because my program had someone else paying for the gas so I bought it at about 70K miles. I was laid off in February but have a new job where the gas comes out of a fixed car allowance that they pay me. I need to find something else to drive that gets better mileage than the Marauder. So to summarize, it's a high mileage car that has seen more highway time than any car probably should under the asses of two traveling salesmen.

102K miles. K&N air filter and Borla stainless steel mufflers. Rubber is at 90%. Needs nothing (except a bath... damn pollen).

$10,000

Yeah, well about that...

You see, you regular guys here have this mantra that I hear over and over and over again. It goes something like this, ahem: "USE THE SEARCH!" So I did.

Realistically, I've had very, very few problems with the car and I just haven't had time (what with the new jobs and all) to become the true enthusiast that I wish I could be and it has been reflected in my post count.

I come from a Ford family. I've got an F150, a '02 Mustang (my wife's car) and a '90 Mustang (my project car) in addition to the Marauder. Mom and Dad have an '03 Cobra (Mom's car) an F350 a '65 Mustang convertible that Dad and I rebuilt from the ground up (upgraded from the 289 to a worked 350) as well as a '65 Factory Five Shelby replica with a 418 cid small block making somewhere around 550 hp and equivalent torque (yes, it's a beast). We've been into Fords for a long time and the Marauder was a great fit.

In 2003 when the economy was in better shape, my father put through the order for the Marauder as his company car as kind of a lark. To his (really all of our) surprise, they signed off and delivered the car. He drove it for 70K miles, as described above, until I bought it from him. He moved into a Hemi R/T Charger (also not a bad choice for a company car, if you have to drive a sedan) and looking at the Taurus SHO in a few months (in order to get another Ford back in the stable).

Anyway, that's my story and my explanation of my limited post count. Have no fear, I'm not a dealer, just an enthusiast and I don't want to trade this car to some dealer who's going to shuffle it off to some crappy auction somewhere. As you all know, these cars are becoming harder to come by. Especially a nice unmolested one like this.

With this mileage KBB puts it between $9500 and $9800. I have neither the time nor the patience to deal with multiple offers and F-in around with kids who want to own one but need to wait until their allowance catches up. The first one to get to me with a reasonable offer can have the car.

I'll get some pictures up this weekend after it gets a bath.

It is a 2004. The interior is actually called charcoal I think.

Friendly advice: If you want to sell a car, post at least a few pics to draw-in & entice interested parties.

Much more betterer. And that folks, is the extent of my marketing skills. Sorry, I just didn't want to post any dirty pictures... if you know what I mean.

What (reasonable) price makes it a "no-brainer" in your opinion? Mileage is high, yes but not ridiculously high and it's none the worse for wear. More pictures? What? Come on up and drive it. You'll love it.

You'll love it. Honestly, the price is pretty good IMHO. 100k isn't "high", it's a 5 year old car and that would only be considered on the high side of average miles...I drive 20k/yr, my only thing is that it's split between two cars.

Speaking of having 2 cars, I would love to get into a 2nd Marauder, as silver was my #1 choice before I stumbled across my black. Unfortunately for now, the plan for me at this time is still to pay off the 2 cars I already have before I start playing "collect the Marauders"!

Back to task, as far as coming down in a price, I wouldn't really come much off the $10k.

If you can throw it in the garage and maintain it for a year, I will fly out and give you $10k for it next year when the Marquis is finally paid off. :beer:
