[Ms. Denmark]

Would help if you could post up pics of engine, interior/exterior and list all the goodies ie OEM mats, trunk organizer, OEM wheels etc. Sounds like a nice car!

[DOOM]

What Ms. D said!

You're asking for help with a price so post up some pics! :up:

Who did the port work on the blower?

[DOOM]

Whoa! I just noticed you're in Va.

What part? You're probably close to a lot of members here! Including me.

Good luck with the sale! :beer:

[Randy ODell]

Stiegemeier did the porting and polish. I don't know how to put picture's up may need a little help. I do have them.

Sounds like a nice car. I can't afford it, whatever the price is.

[youngrauderlvr]

[Blown3.8]

Very nice car here guys. I used to work with Randy. Wish I could afford it myself.

[Randy ODell]

Thanks Chris

The DTR jokes are old, and the one thing that gets under my skin is trashing a for sale thread.

Keep the BS in check.

This DTR is clean as hell, and hope the OP gets every penny of what he wants for it.

If Blackmobile hadn't beat me to "Fruitpunch" I'd had a mean DTR in my garage next to my Mean black one!

Beautiful car, good luck with your sale. I may have missed it, is the long block stock, or is it built?

That's SHARP! :beer: GLWS!

[DOOM]

Well this thread was started because you wanted to know what you should ask for the car.

I would ask 18 -20K!

Good luck with the sale. You truly have a gem on your hands! :beatnik:

[tbone]

I would ask 18 -20K!



I concur.

Really, really, really nice car.

[Randy ODell]

Sorry but for that it will just have to stay where it is . I will need it out of the garage in the next two years at least I don't have to move is fast.

[nh muscle]

I would say 24000. - 1500 for being red!! Nice car and all the hard work is done!

[LANDY]

Very nice car you have there. I would say $25k

[Baaad GN]

Darn I've been looking for a car like this for the last 6-9 months but just didn't feel comfortable about the ones that came up to jump on one! Now this one show's up 2 weeks after I buy my wife a 2012 MKZ. Don't get me wrong I love the MKZ but I would have saved a lot of money for a real nice car here! (&*^%#^&(&%@#%&()_)
God must hate me! Good luck with you sale!

[DOOM]

Sorry but for that it will just have to stay where it is . I will need it out of the garage in the next two years at least I don't have to move is fast.

Hey I understand bro!

There's so much money tied up in mine I lost count!

But the reality is if I were to put mine up for sale I wouldn't get back all I put into it.

That's just the way it is.

Some people with S/C cars and low miles post up asking for 30K and get crucified for it!

At the end of the day it's your car and you can set whatever price you want for it!

Now whether you get it or not is a different story.

Like I said before. Good luck with the sale. :beer:

[GAMike]

Guys...There is no way to establish a value for this car....An 11k DTR Trilogy with all those goodies is a One of a kind for our breed of steed......

My advice? "Ask for what you really want"..... You have a 2 year window as you stated.......Put it out there and see if someone steps up... I bet someone will if you market it well.......

Its an M5 beater, and AMG beater, a CTSV beater. With more space than any of them, more reliable and cheaper to maintain......

If you want a quick sale, then sure, price it that way. If you want what you want, then it will come down to the condition of the car as rare as this, the set up that wets the appetite and lastly..... Patience......

Good luck! You have a beautiful ride...You should get what you want for it:beer::burnout:

[Spectragod]

I'd say a solid 20-25k, 30k is not out of the realm of possibility, it will just take the right buyer, by that, I mean a buyer who wants a turn key car that will out perform the so called "fast, luxury" offerings that are on the road.

Stick to your guns, you'll get the money.

[youngrauderlvr]

I would really like to know what you want for it.....

[F8LBITEva]

I used to work with Randy as well and I called him a few times right before I bought mine. I still want that car Randy!!! I just cant afford it. Good luck buddy

-Jose

[sailsmen]

There are 2 totally built 10 second MM, both done right and they are asking $30K with neither one selling.

In todays economic environment I think you would be lucky to get $20K.

The best way is to put it up for sale for the price you want and see what happens.

Some rich eccentric may really like red.;)

[MMBLUE]

Flawless!!!! You already know my opinion Randy. Wish we could have worked something out. :cool: Hopefully it goes to a good home ;) As far as how much 24-26K :coolman:

[Panther]

Damn I wish I could get that one also. I would name it Super twin.

[hotford]

20-25k is what it should fetch....but the economy isn't the best time to get what she is really worth.
Awesome.............GLWS.

[DOOM]

In your favor.

Only 980 DTR marauders were made!

Only 250 trilogy kits were made!

Rare low mileage combo! :banana2:

Mike.

To the OP

You have a great car in great condition, 1st rule of sales: it is easier to lower a price than to up it, ask what you want

Pros
Well maintained car
well desired mods
to some of us (me included) a great color
low mileage deserves a premium

Cons
some folks will prefer a stock car
just low enough mileage that driving around the block will lower its value

These cars aren't really collector cars and may never be. As others said just because a lot of money was put into it doesn't mean you will get it back. I'm sure you know that. Rarely does any one get back what they put in their cars. Do a search and see what cars have been selling for. I agree with others you could get 20k probably easily, time is on your side (for now, as stated in one of your posts) so ask more. The economy and "collectabilty" isn't

Is an MM an M5, AMG or CTSV beater? I wouldn't trade my car for any of those but those cars are in another class - refinement, stock speed, handling etc.

To Mike
I wasn't even going to respond but after sleeping on it your response is the exact reason why I stayed away from this site for so long, did I joke, yes, was I trashing his car or the thread NO. In the end it seems as if he knows what he wants for the car anyway.

[GAMike]

They are in another class price wise for sure, but as far as out on the road? You would be surprised how much respect I get when running with these cars.....A car like the one for sale here will do everything those vehicles do, and with those mods in the hands of a capable driver, do it very well.

I don't have as many mods, but I have run with plenty of M5's & AMG's .... The car gets plenty of respect. :burnout:Have only come accross 1 CTSV, but it was not the "right" time........

This is a car for someone who wants something different/quasi exclusive, but does not want to shell out $80k for the privilege... He is looking for ideas....... Market the car effectively and you will find that person... They are out there.....

[bolsen]

Best bet is an auction.

Are you seriously asking this question?

Not just no but HELL no.
No comparison at all. My M5 at 150 is quieter and smoother than the Marauder at 75. It gets there effortlessly with minimal intrusion and practically dares you to grow a pair and set the cruise.
Everything it does it does SO much better than the Marauder it's not even funny.
The Marauder is good for getting in and being loud/raucous then putting it back away for the next time I feel like being a 16 year old.

At 30K this guy is competing with ultra low mileage E39 M5's and E55 AMG's. Gonna be a tough market especially considering he is going to have to find a cash buyer.
I'd like to see him get it as it'll make it that much easier to justify trying to sell mine for 18-19 next spring but I don't see it happening. Mid-low 20's are more realistic.

[stevengerard]

Are you seriously asking this question?



No, I'm not! someone else brought that up, its a Marauder Forum so I respect that but I have also driven and raced the other cars on a track - I know there is no comparison. Doesn't mean I can't or don't like one over the other.

[GAMike]

So guys, I don't want to derail this gentlemen's thread because of comments that I have made....... All I was saying is that you would be spending less money for equal/close performance if you were to purchase a Marauder equipped the way his is........

I just want to see a vehicle of this quality go for all it can, and was making suggestions how to position its attributes. We ea. have a frame of reference to justify our POV's. Thats what makes cars fun. My opinion is just that an opinion... Its no worse or better than anyone elses.... I have driven many high dollar exotics & performance sedans as well and at speed..... In my opinion a low milage Marauder built like this is a better value than an 80-100k mi. MSeries or AMG (because thats what would be out there if you compare 03-4's The ones with lower miles, still go for a $$$$).... If you went newer M's & AMG's prices of these vehicles make this Marauder even more compelling.

Again sorry for the derail.... I like you all, was trying to offer a strategy so that the car sells for the top dollar it obviously deserves.:beer:

[Spectragod]

:soap:Why is it that people always derail a F.S. post? This is a Marauder board, the car that will potentially be for sale is a Marauder. What ever someone else owns means squat as to the sale of this car. If you like your "other" ride, great, STFU about it in someone else's thread. He wanted to know what it was worth, not what you thought about your own car.

Off my soap box, and a bump for a beautiful Marauder.

[Shermanator]

Hey Randy, I told you so. Don't rush it, we have time.

[Ms. Denmark]

Goes without saying that this DTR is great! The OP knows what he thinks the car should sell for. (Not sure why he aked for help with price.) Everyone is going to have an opinion and few will confirm what he already thinks. Our Marauders are a niche car. They have not reached collector status (except for those of us who own and love them and can't find OEM parts anymore.;)) I'd say it's more of a cult car at this point. Ask anything you want for it and I hope you get it. Mine is priceless.:cool:

[Randy ODell]

Thanks for replies I probbley have to hold on to it longer to get the money I want for it. I think I want close to 35 k for it .Seems high but I have a lot in it and I dont have to rush. Thanks for all inputs and I am willing to talk if we need to . I know I cant get all my money back and I do understand that.

[Ozark Marauder]

35k seems a fair price for your ride, for a Marauder fanatic, and with a two year window, I believe you'll get it......GLWS!

OZ

[Randy ODell]

Thanks I have nothing but time.

[Seneca]

nice car low miles! Trilogy! Sweet! good luck

[the_pack_rat]

Super nice ride ...

The best color combo they made IMHO.

Still miss the DTR I sold something terrible & not in the position to replace it ...

But I do pray to the lottery gods on occasion.

Just wondering (as I'm sure others are) .....

Moonroof or no ?.

Eric,

I will gladly sell you your baby back. I will need reimbursed for a few of the mods I did. Or.....you can come pick it up and store it for me over the winter in Florida.

[Randy ODell]

No moonroof

[the_pack_rat]

you can come pick it up and store it for me over the winter in Florida.

You keep saying that ...

One day I'm gonna show up at your door.

:D


No moonroof

Not a bad thing.

Y'know - as much as I love moonroofs ...

I've always been rather vocal on how they were never really done right on these cars.

While I still held out for & sought out one with the MR vs without when I bought mine .....

My OCD for small details seems to be getting worse as I age & I think I'd actually prefer to have one without the MR at this point.

Again great looking car w/one of the best mods there is.

I'll certainly be sure to save this thread.

And if anyone wants to pray for me that I come into a lot of money .....

I wouldn't hate them for it.

:D

You can buy your old DTR back, make payments.

It does have the dreaded MR, and a stroker, and twin screw, big brakes yada, yada, yada, 521 on the ground, it IS a different car than when you had it.

[Hadamustang1]

Like Like... bump for a great ride

[MyO4Rawdur]

well your car is immaculate and looks like you can at least get about 25k. if i was looking still id definitely try to make some type of arrangement with you. i paid 18,800 for my car and its stock but only had 1,756 miles on it. when i called the dealer about it he told me that there was someone there looking at it that day that i had to call back later so i gave him a proposition. i offered him $1000 right then to tell the guy he forgot about someone who made a deposit and he went for it. i had no problems paying 18 for mine stock and id definitely pay 30 for yours with the trilogy kit. glws and dont low ball yourself, im sure someone is selling their marauder right now to buy yours !!! :beer:

[NavySeabee]

Actually crossed my mind when I saw the ad :)

Naw, keep it, give it to me since I already have a tie to it (he he) I'll go to Marty's and pick it up, and your can get this gorgous ride. :beer: That way you'll have the room for it.

[Spectragod]

Darren I was thinking. Sell my DTR and get this one?????

Barry, you could, I know where there is a DTR with a "lot" more mods than this one, it does have a moon roof and 22k on it though.;) Also has 520+ @ the wheels.:burnout:

[Mike]

Darren I was thinking. Sell my DTR and get this one?????

Yes, do it :burnout: :beer:

[steve fox]

Invest a couple hundred $$ in a premuim Autotrader ad, write a full paragraph description, include as many clean pics as the ad supports and then wait. Ask the price you want. There are NO other cars just just like yours. THE buyer will come to you.

[LSp8]

If I could I would. Price is worth it cuz that car is practically brand new

[RedMerc04]

Wow. I wish I had the cash!

[CBT]

Ditto, sharp car. :beer:

very nice ride. that being said stick it in a barn for 10 years and you will see 35k.

Thanks Shaijack... I have talked with Randy extensively about his car. This car is flawless. He and I were going to try to work a deal at one time but, couldn't meet in the middle with an agreement. If I had a few extra buckaroos, this is one car that is hard to pass up. It has every single thing that is desirable in a MM.


You will want to keep your car. Trust me.

C'mon Marty......Where's the love for me.... Barry and I are good ya know :coolman: I can baby sit it for him. Especially when he and the grand kids come to the Orlando area.

[Spectragod]

Did the OP ever sell this car? I may know someone who is interested.

[Randy ODell]

I do still have it.

[Marauderjack]

What is the price now??:confused:

[Randy ODell]

Close to 30 k

[Randy ODell]

I would like to sell with in next 6 months going to list it in auto trader in 3 to 4 months . If any one is looking for a car like this please contact me . Reasonable offers Please .

[cpe6]

Is this vehicle still for sale?

[Randy ODell]

Yes it is. I will be taking it to the dealer next week for oil change VA inspection and emissions test.

[Invective]

Yes it is. I will be taking it to the dealer next week for oil change VA inspection and emissions test.

You optioned your car the way I would have - love those valve/cam covers! Hold out for what you want - I would pay your asking price when I’m able.

[Invective]

Well stated. I will pay the seller the price asked as it's an excellent optioned and maintained Marauder. Hoping to contact the op ASAP.

Hey I understand bro!

There's so much money tied up in mine I lost count!

But the reality is if I were to put mine up for sale I wouldn't get back all I put into it.

That's just the way it is.

Some people with S/C cars and low miles post up asking for 30K and get crucified for it!

At the end of the day it's your car and you can set whatever price you want for it!

Now whether you get it or not is a different story.

Like I said before. Good luck with the sale. :beer:
