8UWITH6 (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/member.php?u=15865), I know I stayed quiet while you were on the hunt. You sounded more interested in buying ASAP and I didn't want to find one that you liked as well.

03knight - I'll check that one out in Witchita, thanks for the heads up.

Rocky - I'm open to anything. If its a super nice one I could do low teens. Its going to be a daily driver so my preference would be one with a little character with some miles and pay around 8 or 9.

I truly wish you luck. My search although frustrating at times, turned out pretty well. I am sure yours will as well. I always have my eyes open around town. But seriously, there is no Marauder action in KC.........

Mine has character, just isn't anywhere near KC... Was sold new in Ft Smith AR, does that count?

Mine is 03/140k maybe I need to come down from the 8500...

and character? My car eats character and pisses excellence!

Good luck with the search and if your interested in mine I am always down for a road trip, Kansas beer is way better than OK lol

There was one in Arkansas that I let go for $6,100 on eBay. He was asking $6,500 and it had 140k miles. For that price, I was interested but very skeptical to buy it sight unseen.

I'm still looking so I certainly appreciate you guys keeping me updated. I search CL for KC and surrounding areas almost daily. Also have eBay, Autotrader, and CarMax alerts going. CarMax appears to be a complete rip off, the one time I got an alert they wanted $20k or something completely out of range. I'm patient, don't need one tomorrow. I will wait for the right one at the right price.

01-25-2013, 07:49 AM
If I thought there was a chance it was the right one for me, I would have already looked at it. I don't mind gentle molesting, but what that person did was felonious. The only swapping I'm generally ok with is exhaust, stereo, and tuning. Anything more than that I'll probably pass.

THIS was the other car I was trying to buy. Owner responed to my want ad on craigslist. After weeks of talking back and forth about selling the seller finally stopped responding. Even before pulling the trigger on my blue car I emailed him one last time stating cash in hand time to poop or get off the pot................ no response. Looks like its available now......................... Lets go look at this one. I want to show him my blue car :) LOL

from talking with ac1 it sounds like he wants to stay in this area.............. hopefully he will chime in.

ac1
03-04-2013, 07:42 AM
Yes, I want to stay in the area. The one in Olathe has promise - but I can't tell where its at or price or nothing. I've seen a few of those disappear as fast as they show up. Silver is doable - black preferred. Need to get more details...

8UWITH6
03-04-2013, 06:39 PM
Yes, from what I have found the dealers have to log in their system all trade in vehicles. Some go on the lot......... some go straight to auction. I actually called on a black car at Superior Acura and they where like what are you talking about??????? After about 15 minutes they found the car in the system and that the owner had pulled it out of inventory for his grandson........... lucky kid. But that stuff happens all the time.

Anyway, I was busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest at work today Ill call Bud Brown Tuesday unless you already have.

Silver Birch at VW sold 1st day for 5500 is what a salesman said on the phone. I drove by it real quick on the way home. 04 Silver Birch, Dark Charcoal, MOONROOF and Spoiler. Looked pretty clean. Didnt have time to take pictures and its sold anyway. Odd thing is that is tagged already but sitting on their lot. My guess is an employee bought it for that price. On to the next ac1

** Got a call from them today, sold to a salesman there. I planted the bug if he wanted to sell to call me **

03-08-2013, 07:43 AM
Dang, 5500 would be perfect. Sounds like an insider deal all the way through.

Hey there's a Silver Birch at Dennis Sneed Ford for $8k, but its got 140k. Tad steep but it is one owner, is the same one from a few days ago?

8UWITH6
03-10-2013, 06:52 PM
Bet you money it is. Slime salesman trying to make a few bucks I am sure. (okay I am being harsh). But lets face it, the car was at a VW dealership. Nobody is looking for a Marauder there. So a local Ford Dealer paid a little over what trade in was for it and shipped it to their dealership 30 miles away. It has to be the car, silver birch, dark charcoal, MOONROOF, same mileage. Go look at it............................ .............................. ....................... GO................... :)

ac1
03-13-2013, 06:49 AM
Not really. I keep reminding myself its a want, not a need. I'll know now that when dealers put up Marauders without pictures, it just means its inventory passing through. The only really frustrating part is that some knucklehead traded that car in for $5,500 or less! Someone smack that guy for me please!

Little pricey, only 200 miles away..........

ac1
03-16-2013, 10:17 PM
Looks nice, too far away and too pricey though. 100k and stock, I'd probably only do 9k max. I really, really want some mild mods done. Namely the exhaust, cold air intake, and stereo. Supercharger is a pipe dream for my price range, but I can hope. Hopefully the warmer weather will bring out people selling them or trading them in.

8UWITH6
03-17-2013, 06:40 PM
Stereo is no problem. If you need help with that stuff its a hobby of mine.

ac1
03-19-2013, 10:20 AM
Stereo is relatively easy for me, too - although I don't like cutting (anything). I had a Marquis as a daily driver for a while and I replaced the head unit and all the speakers with little pain. There was a stock tiny amp that was a bxtch from what I recall. Hopefully that nonsense hasn't bled to the 2003 era.

Agree with Neil...

I just spent almost three months trying to buy what I thought was the perfect Marauder... And literally 1 week after I'd completely given up (and started looking and the blasphemous SRT8 300M), and an even better more perfect car fell into my lap... For $1,200 less.

Keep the faith. BTW your post generates so many emails--I was jealous, as my WTB only garnered three to seven responses. MMNet is a fantastic community-- just keep looking!

I have access to the auctions live and history in KC. They have not sold any through the auction in 12 months that's all I can see without a specific vin. I can see what a dealer bought or sold any vin for though. They seem to be getting bought from out of town folks. When I was going to sell I had a guy from IL offer to buy it sight un seen. And had several out of town calls. Just my two cents.

have you looked at how bad the body damage is. I was trying to buy this one the first time it came up for sale. I have a great body guy and hes fairly priced. I had this guy down to 5800.00 the last time he had it up. You could come out goof if you like the hood and wheels.

Not interested in DTR. Black or silver only (black preferred). I have no interest in that monstrosity on CL. I am still looking but my enthusiasm is waning. I think I've been looking almost a year. I still check CL almost every day. Check this thread about once a week. Whatever will be will be...

Still here. I've been checking out the ones on CL and from the dealers. The one at Crossley intrigued me the most. To be totally honest, I'm losing interest. There's seems to be only 2 types of Marauders out there: POS's that are ran into the ground with stupid hoods and stupid wheels with a delusional owner. And the owners that keep the cars pristine, original, and quite frankly beautiful. These owners want $25k for their car.

I currently have a 2006 Charger SRT-8 that only has 57k miles. It has 425hp and is fully loaded, has all the records, and is in very good condition. I'd be lucky to get $19k for it. So I'm thinking to myself, why would I get an inferior car (the Marauder) for somewhere near that? Sorry to offend all you Marauder owners, but lets be realistic. My goal was originally to get a decent 67-72 C10 for about $15k and hopefully a Marauder as a DD for $8k. The C10s have shot up in value tremendously lately so I've basically given up on that. Marauders are expensive too. So basically, I can't get the numbers to work. Not that I have given up, but just VERY VERY frustrated.

I hear you man. Looks like about 12 grand gets you a nice car. 8 to 9 grand gets you well........... what you described above. I will continue to post on this topic when I see stuff I think you might like because hey, they are out there its just a matter of time before you land one. :)

Will consider anything reasonably priced, prefer black possibly silver.

I'm new to this forum but I live in SE MO and have my one owner black 300A up for sale. I need 16k out of it, its in great condition with only 53,300 miles. Never wrecked and garage kept. No major mods, tinted windows, drop in K&N filter, and ss inserts in rear bumper, and a super chips programer. That's it no engine or exhaust mods.

Welcome to the forum, I see it's your first post, you need to post this in the Marauders for sale forum section for maximum coverage. Post up some pictures too.

You are correct on all counts. But don't lose hope.

I know of three previous Marauder Ownner's that moved on to SRT* 300's, so I know what you mean. But they don't nearly have the cache that a Marauder brings.

Look at the Florida car for $9995... 62,000 miles and looks clean. Motivated seller.

After looking for a YEAR seriously... one popped up "that was looking for me."

All I can help with is what was told to me... your Marauder will find you. The one in Florida is looking for you now!

The lure of a Marauder is from the outside... LOVE of a Marauder is from behind the wheel.

It is coming your way=get ready!!! Your search penance is up!

My goal was originally to get a decent 67-72 C10 for about $15k and hopefully a Marauder as a DD for $8k.

I have both of these which I would sell. Marauder is on this board(50K, built motor, comes with an Eaton swap). I havent advertised the C10 but have been thinking about selling it too so I can put the $ into the next toy.
C10 is a GA truck so it is pretty solid but has nice patina. Has a very healthy LQ4/4L80E with ~52k on them and a freshly rebuilt 12 bolt.
LS swap was completed this spring by me(I've done several LS swaps) and has about 2,500 miles on it since completed.
It's 2 tone blue/white with 15" American's. Will come with a bunch of extra parts(buckets, console, rallies, etc).
I would also trade both for your Charger + cash from you.
If you are interested send me a PM and we can discuss further.
