well last weekend i took a trip from massachusetts to new hampshire to look at a 03' marauder....and bought it. it should be home sunday, i had it shipped, cant wait :beer:. but anyhow the car is black, 64k miles, interior is like new and exterior has some door edge chips and some minor scratches but overall nice original condition, also has all new cooper tires on it. from reading here i think it is a 300a series as it has a full size spare tire but i found this website after the fact so at the time i did not know what else to look for. I know the last six numbers of the vin# are 625858....not sure how that fits into which marauder that is for 03' but anyways i paid 12k for it....im sure everyone here knows what a stock one looks like but ill post pics when i get it!!

thanks for the welcome everyone! back in 03' i looked at a new marauder but could not afford it at the time so i bought a crown vic..sticker price was much cheaper. well still have the crown vic garage queen with only 6k miles on it...the vic will have a nice companion in the garage now!

well i plan on keeping the vic, probably switch the plates over to the mm. the mm has a space in the garage, but it wont be a daily driver, i want to keep it in very good shape (like the vic).one thing i noticed with the mm is underneath the car is very clean for a northern car...probably was not driven in winter,which is a good thing! id be willing to bet it was garaged as well as nothing is sun faded..should have the car tomorrow so ill post up pics (if i can, some forums wont let you until you have x amount of posts, how about this site?) ill post some info on it as well...hope it gets here in one peice!!!

Marauder are cool cars. In the dark, a poor driver pulled out into traffic and wrecked mine but Marauders are unique so I purchased another. I hope you appreciate yours for a long time.
Look at driver's door jamb for the manufactured date.
