Hi Everyone,
I just purchased a Black 2003 Marauder with 36k on it last week. The car is now on it's second owner and thankfully it has always been garage kept and will continue to be so.
We ( My elderly father and I ) had to make an 80 mile trek within N.C. to buy this car. I had found it on Craigs List and was astonished at the low mileage and reasonable price. I called the owner the night before to arrange a meeting time , and as they say , The rest is history.
The car only had a couple of minor defects. The back lighting on the Volt Meter was out. The turn signal would not cancel out and return to the nuetral position after completing a turn. Lastly , the compressor for the Air Ride System was shot. I was amazed that so little mileage killed it , but it is what it is.
I took my car to my buds at the Ford Dealership around the corner so WE could inspect the Air Bags , Manually inflate them to assure it was only the Compressor being faulty. Once that was accomplished , I was on the old Cell Phone to order a correct Compressor from SunCore...talk about quick customer service at a reasonable price. I'm very pleased with them thus far.
I'm looking forward to many years of ownership with this car. I was a fan from way prior to it's release. I still have the fold out brochures that the Mercury Division mailed me back in 2002 for this car.
I'm an old school Ford Guy from way back. I've been involved with other Ford related sights in the past , but have mostly elected to stay "Off the Net" based on past dealings and seemingly childish bahavior taking place within them. I'm confident I've found a good group of people to associate with here.
By the way...I'm a believer that the newest of cars doesn't always begin to solve all of lifes little problems....finding what makes you happy tends to make them tolerable.
Best Wishes from Race City USA ( Charlotte N.C. ) :banana2:
