Well, the dealer and i finally came to an agreement. I got the 2003 MM for $29k. I said i would only take it if they threw in GAP insurance, and the extended warranty. They gave me gap, but gave a good discount on extra warranty.
The reason i couldnt go to another dealer was because i was trading in a car that i was upside down in. I had a 2001 Cadillac sevill STS that just had problem after problem with it. Since day one, its been in the shop at least 2 times per month, each visit at least 3 days! I got sick of it and wanted a full size sedan with power. The mm was my best choice. But i owed around $12k more than the car was worth, and this dealer was the only one who would even finance me. Even though i have perfect credit (700 on fica, tier one from ford) So i traded in my STS for the MM. After driving it for a while on the streets tonight, i notice it handles MUCH better than my STS ever did. Im in love with it. So, soon i'll be looking for some mods to do, probably and intake of sorts to start with.

Congrats!! Yeah know the feeling. Went to the dealer and I was upside down on my 02 Must. GT Convert. Decided to sell the stang outside and go back. Had a 04 MM at $28,850 plus the upside down 2k and sales tax 1k. Wow 31k. NO way will sell the stang first. Enjoy.

on the purchase of a nice car. A computer chip is a good place to start for performance. And if you want even more of an acceleration increase, then get a Precision Industries Stallion Torque converter w/a 3000RPM stall speed.

Congrats on the new car. A word of warning, allow extra time on any errands and trips you are going to take, you'll need it to answer all the questions of Marauder owner wannabes'.:D
