Like the title says just picked up an 03 blk Marauder. I've always liked the cars but didn't know much about them. When this one came through the dealership I work at I couldn't pass it up. Really looking forward to messing w/this thing a little bit and making it faster and maybe make it look a little meaner...

congrats man. The best way to get a deal on a car is working at a dealer that took it in on trade.

Thanks guys, so far the only mods are K&N filter charger and window tint. Not sure which route to go w/it yet Supercharging seems to be the obvious choice. Im gonna see what I can pick up by adding some bolt-ons and some exhaust work right now. Maybe a little laughing gas also....

Thanks, miles are right at 100 car does not show it at all though. Had the car thoroughly inspected at the Ford store accross the way before I bought it. The service writer tried to buy it from me. I paid 7k for it so I think I made out allright...

It was headed to auction so I jumped all over it... Interior is mint not a scratch or tear anywhere. Just has a few common MM issues like one of the gauge lights being out and some of the buttons (window, and stereo) other than that its mint...

All easy fixes....resolder the switches...there is a write up on it here somewhere and the bulbs are easy to change out...the hardest part is getting the guage pod to release with out breaking the clips...there is write up on this too.

Sounds like you did very well with your MM. Now take a drive up in the Texas hill country some pretty weekend...if you get to Wimberley, give me a yell and I will get my '04 DTR out and meet you downtown to talk about our MMs.
Oh...any questions you have about your vehicle...the folks on this site are a fantastic resource.
