Modified or Not?

[Charlotte 04]

I am new to this forum. I listed myself as Charlotte 04 because I thought I might be interested in buying an 04. I am looking for a daily driver and put 10 to 15 k a year on my cars as a sales manager. I used to drive a Grand Marquis and miss the ride and comfort of that car. That being said, I have been driving a BMW 330ci for the last 8 years and have become accustomed to a little thrill factor in my ride. I see a lot of modified cars here and on eBay and such. Reliability, comfort and prrformance is what I am looking for, but mods kind of scare me. Should I shy away from modified MMs or go for the gusto?

Go for the gusto, if not you will mod it anyway.

Yup. ^^^^^

These are very reliable cars, and the engines will last for well over 100K if properly maintained.

We have several supercharged folks with 200K+ and still going strong.

I just turned 80K on my Eaton-swapped engine and it runs like a Swiss watch.

Go for it!

BTW, :welcome1: to the Carolina Marauders!

If you decide to buy a modded car you need to know what your looking at, if you dont feel comfortable take a good mechanic with you, as long as the car was done right i would get a modded beast!

Welcome to the Carolina Marauders!

I live here in Charlotte, down by Carrowinds off Steel Creek--

My MM has been modified ( story behind it explains it all) but can be a daily driver depending on several factors..... If your interested to meet up sometime and check it out and other stuff --give out a holler!!!

Modded, I hated mine in "stock" form, even with a tune.

[Charlotte 04]

Thanks Tom. I am in Mooresville and would love to meet you / see your car / get some advice. My travels take me as far north as Winston Salem and as far South as York county. I may rech out to you shortly.

It sounds unanimous. Moded it is. That being said...Suggested mods? Thanks to all.

[PonyUP]

Tune, 410 gears, long tube headers, supercharger in that order. You will be thrilled with each mod you get and it will be a new car each time.

The car is great stock, first time you meet up with us, the itch will start. You'll scratch it my getting a tune and figure your happy. You'll go to a meet again, and you'll want a little more. Then it becomes a thirst, then a necessity, then a way of life

I HIGHLY suggest to only buy a MM from here whether stock or modified. Most members cars on this site have been documented countless times and come with a history. This isn't your typical car site by no means, we are a very tight nit community who own the same limited production car and we take great strides to helping each other.

With that said, welcome aboard!

^^^^^ VERY good info...... I looked at a lot of Marauders before I bought mine. The others were just cars, not loved at all, mine was very well taken care of, as are most you will find on this board.

[MyBlackBeasts]

Buy that DTR that's for sale in GA. The car is GORGEOUS & low miles. He installed a Trilogy so the "slow" is cured... :D

Link /Wesite/ Post to the one in Ga?

[Charlotte 04]

Looks like the link no longer works. What about the VT listed here?
