[DOOM]

And heated seats.

[MOTOWN]

i noticed it has traction controll, does that make it a 300b?

[TAKEDOWN]

I don't know... seems a little to g00d to be true.

[Dragcity]

It'll need new wheels.

Who wants those floor mats?

[DOOM]

That is one clean ass marauder! :coolman:

What are the holes in the bumper? and it looks like the only seat that ever got used was the drivers seat.

That is fine, but I need an honest assessment of the car before I pull the trigger. So you can't tell me about it just because you want to pimp a blue Marauder for 900 miles!!!!! :D

Oh, and I have a big Rottweiller at home that I love!!!!! :coolman:

^^^^^^ Yeah, and the current bid is at $4,500; this could be a real deal depending on how contested the bidding gets as the auction winds down. ^^^^^

All Blue MMs are 300Bs.

'Cause its an '03 300B MM.

That's right, all factory sunroof cars started with MHHM. Also, that home-made mini-console thing in front of the sunroof is just silly.

Silly or not, that is the way ASC (who makes the bulk of the aftermarket sunroof kist) does it.

That is what is in my race Marauder (I added a sunroof long before I knew it was going to be a 9 second car! :banana2: )

Car looks decent but i bet the pictures make it look nicer than it really is in person.

It'll need a new skin for the driver's seat.

That DP Blue always looks amazing on a sunny day!....:bows:

BTW: I never realized how near white colored the 'light flint' interior was.
It looks kinda like someone swapped the wrong color seats into a dark grey interior.

Very light, indeed; and the dye isn't that great. Ask me how I know... :rolleyes:

Betcha its been rear-ended--cause the back up lenses are from a CV or at least been replaced for some reason--but add the short tail pipes--==you get rear-ended in my book--and someone didn't know what was suppose to be exact for the replacement--......carry on

Thanks Peter.

If I "needed" a car, that would be a nice one.

I was just figuring, if I could get an "Oh Wow!" deal on an MM, I would put it in the shop to work on as I hade time, and then add a roots style bklower and some other upgrades that I would like on my DD, but don't want to take my current blue MM off the road to build.

This is why days off are dangerous for me -- I start scheming and spending money!!!!

That CV is a WOW--..That drivers seat shows a bit more than 15K --or the sitter was heavy or did a lot of still sitting---either way--that leather is a bit too cracked for that mileage IMO.

The price is good----what still makes me curious --why so low mileage for a 7 year old car with alot of seat time evidence--sorry could'nt help it! :lol:

I could move my "00 CV out for up to this one --...hummmmm--thanks for the heads up--

Gotcha. Wonder who the winning bidder was.

[Red91LX]

I don't know who won it, but I agree the car was probably no better than a "7.8". Probably not worth any more than $10,000, but maybe worth it if you just had to have a DBP Marauder. Lots of little things need attention on this car. The driver's seat has a small tear in the seat back, but all the power functions worked OK. There's curb rash on several wheels, although they still had a decent finish overall. There are two cracked pieces on the front grille on either side of the medallion. Several lights are out on the driver's window controls and the EATC head. All the EATC functions worked, but the windows seemed sluggish going up and down. The engine wasn't detailed, but sounded OK running, and there was no smoke on start up. I didn't notice any leaks on the "showroom" floor, and the car was "pinned in" by other cars, so I think it had been sitting in the same spot for days without moving.

There is lots of "road wear" on the nose, and the head lights and fog lights are seriously abraded. There's some scuffing and scratches on the front bumper cover as well. The moon roof appeared to be properly installed, and the inside shade matched the headliner well. The stereo worked, but I didn't test the CD changer or the tape deck. It seemed some of the controls on the steering wheel were intermittent. Because of the way the car was parked, there was no room to walk behind and look at the rear. I did notice the backup lights are the correct MM lenses, even if they appear lighter in some of the pictures. The windows were tinted, with the rear doors and back glass slightly darker than the front door glass. There are two dings on the "carbon fiber" dash insert near the center. The paint appeared to be original, and the body panels looked OK. There were no major dings or dents, but more than a few scratches and scuffs here and there.

Since I couldn't drive it, there's no way to say how good it runs on the road. It was interesting to see some of the other cars inside the "showroom". There were no less than three other Marauders parked next to this DBP example. Two Silver Birch models and one Black. Of the four Marauders, one of the SB cars was probably the best one of the four overall. The paint on the black car looked like a respray in a dirty booth. It had a black interior, and one of the SB cars was also black inside. The wheels on one of the SB cars looked as though they were repainted with a semi gloss silver finish-not very good looking.

Those other cars are the ones from their other autcitons online. It was a couple weeks ago that this place had all three of them on ebay as well. I was intrested in the Black one but never got a chance to check it out cause I thought it sold on ebay. Looks like they just pulled the auction down early for those casue they were cheap last time I looked. Glad to see I wasnt missing much with the black one.

As I mentioned before, I was mainly looking at the DBP car for Marty. There were three other MM's parked next to it. There was a very nice SB (probably the best of the four cars), then a Black one, and finally another SB...I took a quick look at the others while I was there, and noticed the paint on the front end of the Black car has a nice shine, but a lot of what appears to be a grit embedded into the paint. I didn't touch the surface to see if felt "bumpy", but it was noticeable under the indoor lights. I don't know if the other cars are still available.

We should all report the guy on eBay. They can search and see if the winning bidder was a winner in any of the guys other auctions.

If you sell something via auction as "no reserve" that you have to live with the results.

Seems very convenient for the dealer that the bidders are private so they can't be identified to see if the dealer is schill bidding.:(
