In VIN terms, is this considered a Marauder?

Don't know what you mean??? :confused:

Yes, it is an '03 MM VIN

VIN: 2MEHM75V63X611529


I am just surprised that there was no mention of the Landau top and the "Gold" Mercury Waterfall in the description. ;)

It's an 03, so it doesn't have a separate code. I believe the 04s did.

Does it look like that car has a hitch on it?

Didn't know if this was a legit marauder or a grandmarquis with marauder accents.

The key is the "V" in the VIN. That indicates the 4.6L 302 HP, DOHC engine.

The VIN sequence indicates an early June 2002 build. Could be a cousin to "Krytin's" car within 1-3 cars.

The dealmaker is it has a cigarette lighter, I guess unlike all the others. Casey will probably be interested in those floormats.

Gentlemen, how can you possibly make derogatory comments about the ONLY convertible 4 door Marauder ever built??!!
Plus it is equipped with the ONLY OEM "gold accent" package ever festooned on a Marauder.
This unique Marauder is a museum piece! I estimate it's value at $100,000+ at the next Barrett-Jackson auction.

* The value has been lowered slightly by the chrome/non-gold wheel opening wraps...
I have no idea why the original owner/investor swapped out the OEM gold wheel opening wraps.

He is just looking for someone to goose him as he bends over to pick the floor mats up

I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw the chrome wheel well moldings. I won't comment about the roof.

This was posted recently in another thread. It was speculated that this may be BigDogJim's car:D

I think the chrome wheel well arches are the least of that car's problems. The bad thing is, there's another MM for sale in Pasadena that is not a bad looking car with high miles, but it has CV or GM wheels on it. Seems a swap would be in order.
