Wow somebody better scoop that up! If I thought I could sell mine for decent I'd go grab it. Looks to be very clean as well.

[guspech750]

Thatsa nicea!!

[gdsqdcr]

That is a nice looking DPB. I am not fond of the light flint, but it looks clean. I think the price is right on as well.

Who is gonna to join the Blues Brothers?

[BODYMAN]

Thats a fair price for a clean Blue with decent mileage. Man my wife would strangle me havent been a fan of the blue in the past but it is starting to grow on me. If it only had dark interior, having had 2 Fox bodys with White leather I know how it looks as it wears.

[MOTOWN]

Looks good in the pictures, price sounds fair as well!

[Shaijack]

Super good price. Get it ane be a Blues Brother....

Yeah, the light flint has wear issues, but finding a DBP with Dark Charcoal is tough, IIRC, there's like 117 in that color combination.

Gotta say, a clean DBP with a coat of Quick 'n Slick on it is real purdy on a nice sunny day.

[slickster]

Great deal for a blue. Someone save it from a unworthy person

[Comin' in Hot]

[ImpalaSlayer]

[BODYMAN]

Ha,Ha we talked about that before Rex. Nope her sisters name is Betsy but she's not like her she's on her 4th marriage and 3-kids by 3 diff Dads lol...

Hey Russell get in here! this dbp is calling your name bud!

[Hadamustang1]

Dosent it seem strange the car dealers no matter where they are .. hardly ever post any under hood shots.. I mean everybody knows about the shinny turd theory.. I don't know I guess it just seems strange to me ..

[Bluerauder]

VIN: 2MEHM75V23X674076

Probably a close relative of the "Bluerauder". Late Jan - Early Feb 2003 build is likely. Might be number #69-75 in Blue or very close.

As long as this one checks out mechanically with no issues, it sounds like a really good deal to me. Glad to see MMs in good shape seem to be holding their value.

Needs floormats and a trunk organizer.

From the '03 FPG production breakout: 215 DBP/Light Flint and 113 DBP/Dark Charcoal.

[shodude]

I think i'm gona go check this out today! never fails. I drive all the way to chicago to get my blue marauder and a few years later there's one within 15 miles of me. lol

I was close, definitely the rarest of the rare.

DPB with light flint.......FTW :banana:

[SC Cheesehead]

DPB with light flint.......FTW :banana:

I'm kinda partial to that combination, I gotta admit...:D

[Spectragod]

It's not hard to change the seats, some plastic trim and the headliner to make the interior dark charcoal.

[Bluerauder]

I'm kinda partial to that combination, I gotta admit...:D

Me too. :D I really like the 3-tone interior look with the Light flint seats, dark charcoal lower areas and console and the gray dash and door trim pieces.

BTW -- I don't really have any real "wear" issues with the LF seats.

[cpe6]

Too many miles for me.

[SC Cheesehead]

Too many miles for me.

So, what are you looking for, and what are your expectations?

[Mercguy04]

Hey Russell get in here! this dbp is calling your name bud!

I hear ya.
Also not a fan of the light interior. Other than that it looks real good.
Like Rex and Todd, by beloved would kill me. I need to sell the caddy first.

[Ozark Marauder]

[Mercguy04]

Went to see ths Blue today.
Paint needs work, interior is dirty needs cleaning.
Engine compartment is clean Starts up well shifts into gear, freash oil change, engine runs good. However the car does not seem to be well taken of. Shows signs of outdoor storage durning all seasons.
To take it on face value it was a daily driver. One owner traded in on a Toyota.!!!
Over all car seems to be worth around 8 to 9K
Carfax shows one Accident in 2006. Work was not done to high standred.
Drivers side inter fender well is missing. Tire are in fair shape Wheels show some signs of curb rash. Could be fixed with minor work.
Gods Heads on drivers seats dirty. Dealer seems to be useing car regularly.
Not stored inside on lot or on front line. Parked on side of building.
Lots of interest shown in car. I don't believe dealar would sell cars for window price, instead !2888, as shown on there web site. Truly not woth that sort of money.
I would pass on this car. Lot of work to bring it to show room condition.
JMHO
Russell

[MOTOWN]

Oh wow! i thought it would have been beter condition, oh well im sure you will cross paths with a nice one sooner, or later.

Any luck selling the caddy?

[CBT]

I was close, definitely the rarest of the rare.
Doesn't look like it has the 6 CD changer in the trunk, that makes it 1 of 71. I know who has another one of those 71. :cool:

[NXSBOB]

Price drop to lower than original price after raising price. Now $11,500

[PonyUP]

I do to, as a matter of fact one of those said individuals is getting blown as we speak.

I don't know how many blues are blown, but I'd say it might drop to 1 of 10 with blower and no cd player in trunk

[Bruce Wayne]

How many blues were made with the dark charcoal seat`s, interior.

[CBT]

How many blues were made with the dark charcoal seat`s, interior.
113 of them

[Mercguy04]

Let the dealer price the car at what it is really worth.
Anything more than that is a waste of money.
Russell

[gdsqdcr]

113 of them

I have one of those!

[lavath]

I have one of those!

Arrgh! I am both glad for you and insanely jealous!!!
