"Very limited edition Mercury Marauder modern day muscle car...black with dark flint grey leather,..."

It must be extremely rare with the dark flint grey interior...

I'm new to this forum and in the market for a supercharged MM...was going to actually check out that 2003 on Craigslist.

....why should I avoid this at all costs? Don't want to have my first experience with a MM be a disaster. Thanks

Its probably a decent car, the owner seems to have the issues.

The seller is absolutely insane. He's tried to sell his car through this site two or three times now, and has been banned three times now. He abused the car (he removed the vacuum hose from the supercharger to make it run 100% boost all the time), and then let it sit for the better part of a few years.

He's absolutely mental... his mom drives him everywhere... the car is "his", but it's titled, plated, and registered to his "father" in Wisconsin...

The car is pretty nice, aside from the HIDEOUS front grille, and the "V12" fender badges... Good luck getting any pictures of the car from him aside from the one he posted...

Keep looking... even if you have to buy a NA MM, and get it SC yourself.

I really appreciate the advice. I will steer clear. I did contact him a week ago, asking for pictures. He told me:


I have other photos, just not good at downloading attachments...
it looks the same as any other perfect black Marauder.

I did find that odd. I'll keep looking. Thanks again guys

I made an internet sale via Craigs list.... I ran background checks on the seller and called the Police dept in this area and that...Both departments said the same thing
do "NO BUSINESS" on Craigs list...I did anyway....oooooops. 1500 dollars gone forever.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

What did you buy in craigslist? And why did you give $1500?

Craigslist is more of a meet me (and my armed buddies) at a parking lot with the desired product to check out. No sending of money until you have it.
