Trilogy #232 is going to be for sale soon. Comes with a 2004 black with ~85k on the clock.
I'm not in a hurry to sell her, but the plan is for her to be in a new home between now and early next year. I probably won't even put up car site ads (CL, Autotrader, etc) for another month or two, but I figured I'd give you guys a head start if anyone is in, or thinks they will be in the market for a Trilogy MM soon.
Here's why I'm thinking about giving her up. For those who don't know, I also have a 2012 Mustang. I liked the idea of having two nice cars, since I take really good care of the things I own and keep everything in ship shape. However, I can't keep up with both of these things with the job I'm in. I'm also going to be moving back to California next year, and moving two cars is both expensive and stressful. The other issue is the Trilogy is no good for CA smog, and I can't keep it registered out of state anymore.

A little about the car:
2004 Black, Light Flint interior, 6CD changer, 5% tint all around, Flowmaster Super 40's with rear cat delete
- Trilogy #232 self installed by me at 78259 mi on the clock (so a little less than 7k on the Trilogy as of this post) NGK 4177 plugs went in at this time as well.
- Transmission fully rebuilt and TransGo shift kit installed at 72706 mi
- Tires (Nitto NT850 235/50 - 255/55) have 20k on them, still plenty of tread left.
- Rebuilt EATC module @ 66350
- Replaced battery (Motorcraft 750A) @ 69954
- Replaced cooling fan/motor/speed control @ 66668
- All new pulleys @ 74052
- K&N FIPK 74136
- Replaced blend door actuator 75758
- New OEM grille 79449
- Replace rear pinion seal, changed differential fluid 82708
- Replaced rear brake pads Duralast Gold Cmax 82810
- Replaced fuel filter (FG-800A) 83970
That's the major maintenance that's been done since I've had it. I keep a log and receipts of everything I have done since owning the car. As you can see, most of those little Marauder issues have been addressed since I've had it.
The paint is in pretty good shape. There are rock chips in the front which are a new development since being in Washington. The body is straight, there are a few minor dings around the car.
There is some cigarette damage to the plastic on the shift indicator and one burn spot on head liner right above the driver window (previous owner, I don't smoke.)
Has OEM floormats and a set of Ford rubber mats. I also have another new-in-box OEM grille, and the one that was broken by the shipping company as well as an unpainted header panel. SCT handheld with Trilogy tune included. I also have all of the stock MM parts that were removed/replaced with the Trilogy install, those are included as well.
OEM gauges are gone, boost gauge in one of the holes. They were gone when I bought the car.
Any specific questions, just ask, I'm mostly just writing things as I think of them, so I'm sure I glossed over some obvious things.
I'm going to ask $15k firm for the car. Also, if you want a picture of a specific thing, just let me know.
