I reached 100,020 miles on my 2003 300b today. I have have had very few issues. only the EATC, and a sheared bolt in the rear end. No engine or tranny issues.

All maint has been kept in check. I use Valvoline full synth since I had 500 miles on it.

Hope all of you continue to enjoy your MM for many miles to come. I plan to

:)

I have truly enjoyed this car more than any I have owned. It will always be in my family.

I do have only 2 mods: Superchip and K&N FIPK. I love reading the posts and getting to read stories.

Mine has been in the garage every night since I have owned it.

Checked the oil yeaterday after 3000k plus since last change and there was none to little discoloration in the oil. Take care of those Marauders. There aren't that many left that are original.

Mines almost there, i'm almost at 97,000. I'll probably put it away for the season before I hit the old 100k milestone.

high fives on the 100K+...Mine has 131,979 on the odometer and I think its still the coolest car I've ever owned. It also suits my personality perfectly. Only whine I have about it is the crumby factory paint job with the blistering on the upper surfaces. Mine is clean and I keep it pretty well shined up but its not a concours show car by any means. No problems to date other than I wore out the rear axles and I had the fuel filter pop off once. I drive it like it was built to be driven :) Also had a quirky check engine light/fuel rail code issue but after replacing the filter and the pressure regulator it was still there...for some reason replacing the factory battery seems to have cured that...

I think we all have, no doubt, a true classic in the works. The Impalla SS, too many were made. We have got our hands on something that so many want. I know us owners know that.

Keep the MM alive and breathing. Go Mercury. Gives us more.

I picked mine up a couple years ago on Halloween day.. it had 96k on the clock.. and now I'm up to 116..

I've did my share of maintenance too.. other than routine the whole front end and rear end is pretty much brand spanking new.. lol

yeap i also have the blistering on the hood roof and trunk. But luckily i got the front end repainted nicely. My friend thats a painter told me its the sealer that ford used in these cars and is common in alot of mustangs 2 and any other FLM i believe.

I just went over 120K, minor quirks here but for an S/C she has had waaayy less problems than other S/C Marauders that i've read about on this site. She has even won in a few car shows that i've placed her in here in South Carolina. So far i've placed 2nd in '07, 1st and 3rd in '08, and a 2nd place this past saturday in '09/ People just love these cars...they are definetly worth holding on to. Unless mine gets stolen or total loss in an accident...this car will be passed down through the family after i'm gone...

Good to hear! I plan to drive mine for the next 3 years, I am at 60K right now and was hoping I could get to 100K with no major issues!
