2003 with 16k miles for 21k good deal?

[handmouth]

I've been in the market for a Marauder for a year now. I ran across a 03 black b marauder with 16k miles california car. Asking price is 21k. No, sunroof and no traction control. It has the storage box in the back and full size spare.

I thought I would ask the experts if this is a fair deal?

thanks.

[lji372]

Seems fair but value would drop quickly if it's going to be a daily driver.

Just my .02

There is/was a blue with a trilogy in the 50k range for 18,500. Better deal IMHO

I appreciate the info. Seems the price on these cars are all over the board. Plus, whether it's a 03 or 04 seems to make a difference as well.

I plan on enjoying the car and putting some miles on it, but won't be a daily d.
Don't plan on doing any racing either.

[HBTMD]

About 18 months ago I took my 2003 MM Black all stock with 29,000 miles to Car Max in Las Vegas. I am the original owner. No wrecks. No problems of any sort. Synthetic oil changes every 3,000 miles. Excellent Condition. Awesome Car!!! :bows:

They offered me $8,000. :puke:

Needless to say, I still own it. :banana:

[RubberCtyRauder]

Is it a dealership? or individual selling? IMHO the price is prolly close, I'm thinking $19-20k

[mnrauder]

if you can find one with a supercharger you'll enjoy it more.

Yeah, it just depends on what you goals/plans are. A Blue Trilogy would be really rare and cool! :burnout: FYI, there has been a few low mileage examples right here in Florida, lately for less. They don't have 16k on them but if you could live with mileage around 50k or so, then, save all the extra dough and happy modding (if that is part of your plan).

[handmouth]

It is a dealer that has the car for sale.

I'm finding the reason most dealers don't want these cars is due to the age. Most banks won't loan on them. Very hard to get a loan on a 11 year old car with decent rates and length of loan. I have found a couple of classic car banks but you gotta have excellent credit which fortunately I do.

I'm attracted to the super low miles since I would like the new car feeling .

Buying a cheaper car and modding appeals, but not sure I really need that. I think the car has plenty of power for what I need. I drive a 2000 2.2 liter toyota camry as my daliy d.

I like these cars due to their classic look and big v8 motors. These cars are going by way of the dinosaur and I don't want to miss out. Some day we will all be forced to drive around in soulless generic pods.

Again thanks for the feed back it is much appreciated.

[slickster]

You can get a very clean low mileage to one for around 15,000. And will probably most likely be a a car which is better. I bought a 03 black a car with 50,000 miles cobra bottom with eaton and other stuff for 15000

[RubberCtyRauder]

If it is at a dealer, then they should have negotiating room, as they mark them up so they can come down. You are right about not many places will loan on a 11 year old car, so if you have the funds, you have some advantages in negotiating. i would go in a test drive it, look it over etc.. and then tell them $18K out the door..let them eat the taxes..KBB is $15500..use that for negotaiting and especially if you have the funds in full.

[handmouth]

I'm going to go test drive the car and then think about it. 18k sounds better on the price. I must admit buying one already modded is tempting as well.

thanks again.

This would be one of the smartest decision you'd make regarding a marauder

[justbob]

You are correct on these cars never once having an average price. Location seems to be a big deal, the biggest is when a seller decides they want to move on and offer it up too cheap, and also "what's it worth to you" plays a huge role. For me, if I was in the market for one such as the one you found, I would have no issue at all paying $20.

If you are in Houston check this dealer out. They ALWAYS have nice low mile Marauders, don't know why they have so many, or how they find them but they do. I was thinking maybe someone up high in organization owns one and loves them or something. Its closer than Cali and you could check it out.

Yeah, I said the same thing........... 50k later......:shake:

I would look for something with at least a tune and gears, you are going to be 500 times better off buying off of this board, as most everyone here takes better care of their cars than anything else in life.

I bought mine in early 08', car had 13,700 on it, loaded 04' with a power roof, I paid 21k then for it, so if you plan on keeping the miles low, the value will stay, if you plan on driving it or modding it, I would look for a 40-50k mile car, it doesn't hurt as bad when you rebuild a car with some miles on it.:D

[handmouth]

T.P. Derrick that is the Marauder at Texas Direct. I just put 500 bucks down on it to hold until I get my money.

All great advice guys and I do appreciate all the different points of views.

I went and looked at the car and drove it. The car was freakishly clean. Who ever owned this car kept it in a climate controlled vault and only drove it on special occasions. The inside smelled of fresh leather. I crawled over and under it. It's like someone took a rag and wiped the car down every time it came back from a drive. The exhaust was clean enough to eat off of and so was the engine. Paint flawless, inside perfect not single scuff or tear. Everything worked including the foot pedal adjuster. Floor mats and carpet like new. I spent a hour looking over every inch of the car and couldn't find a single thing wrong with it. It had the trunk organizer as well as the cd box in the trunk. Everything on this car was stock. I couldn't believe it. Sadly, I couldn't control myself either. The best I could get them down on the price was
$21, 480. I just couldn't walk away from it. I would have to say this is the cleanest one in houston.
I figured if I passed on this then It might be a long while if never that I would have a chance at finding another near me that was in new condition. I have three other cars, but I'm no collector. This car will be driven just not daily.

I plan on keeping this car for many years.....provided the deal goes through.

[RubberCtyRauder]

Pre congrats anyway..until it is finalized...You'll definitely want a tune for it, it adds 20ish HP and alters the trans shift schedule to more responsive rather than trying to get to OD so quickly. COntact marty at Mo's Speed Shop, He is an active member (martyo) and it can all be done via phone and email..You buy frm them if you don;t have an SCT handheld, they laod the tune ointo it, and you plug it into the obdII port under the dash, downoad and all done. The sct device stores the factory tune so you can redownload whenver necessary and then stores the performance tune.

Yeah, its there or at least according to Auto Trader. I never seen it, I just search around Auto Trader, Cars.com & E-Bay for special V-8 Mustangs, Lightnings & Marauders and always see really clean looking ,low mile Marauders listed there. Hope you get it, no need to go all the way to Cali for nothing when you got a nice one right there under your nose.

[HBTMD]

Getting one with a properly installed and functioning supercharger would add a great deal of fun and value. :beer:

A good supercharger would be at least 5 to 6 grand for the parts alone. Hiring a competent mechanic to install it would be essential and costly. Add to that a new tune, bigger tires and a few other mods, the cost and fun factors go way up. :banana:

[handmouth]

Not sure I want to put a bunch more power in to it. I have a couple of other cars that quench the rabid visceral need for speed.
I like the Marauder because it's big and classy and has a nice punch. Plus, I have never owned a V8. I've been going through life up until now saying "I could have had a V8".

texas direct pulled the Marauder I'm buying off their site. I guess they for got about the auto trader add.

I can still smell those leather seats in the car like the perfume of a woman you are in love with. lol Yep, I got it bad.

My adrenaline rush addiction is satisfied by my 2013 SRT Charger. 470 HP stock from the factory. :bows:

Although I have looked into the cost, I have never seriously considered a supercharger for my MM.

It is already a wonderful and powerful car just the way it came from the factory. :beer:

[handmouth]

So, the dream is dying. Seems the finance company has decided they want me to pay a 390 appraisal fee for the car to be appraised. No, big deal. They can't guarantee me that this won't change the terms of the loan. Which they first said I needed to put down 10 percent and now they say 15%. So, after the appraisal then what? I feel like I have been baited and switched.
I got a 755 credit rating. Anyone dealt with any good loan agencies that loan on 11 year old cars in mint condition with only 16500 on the odometer.

[lji372]

Tell the dealer to eat the fees, or walk away.

[handmouth]

Financing is not through the dealer. It's through Woodside credit in california.

Woodside came highly recommended on other car sites.

Basically, they said the car is to new and they are not sure what direction the value will go. So, they want me to put down a hefty payment to cover the possible loss in value.
I assured them that I had no intention on defaulting on the loan regardless of the cars value decrease.

Yep, looks like I need to walk away from this one. Dam, shame the car is so clean and in amazing condition. Hurts to walk away.

[lji372]

You still may sway the dealer to cover it. After all, they have a car to move :D

Already tried with the dealer. Came down two thousand and that was it.

Take it or leave it. They know what they got and they know a city as big Houston their is someone who will snap it up.

The dealer keeps a mercury Marauder on their lot at all times. They know the market and the value.

If it was some Japanese lot who didn't care or know it would be different.

I have many dream cars. This one of them. The other is a El Camino the list goes on.

There are definitely higher mile cars just as well taken care of by members on this board for less money. IMHO the two recent trilogy cars were deals of a lifetime.

Get a ride in a mild roots supercharged marauder, they are perfect.

That seems to be the consensus on here. With a super charger the cars come alive.
Perhaps I should look in to going that direction.

Just curious about the reliability with the mods?

[HBTMD]

As excellent as this MM sounds to be, the dealer will not have a lot of offers above what the Kelley Blue Book or The Black Book values it at.

Black Book values are usually a lot lower and what dealers try to refer to when purchasing your car. They refer to the much higher Kelley Blue Book values when trying to sell a car to you.

You may wait a while, until the dealer is really hungry to sell and bring in the Black Book and Blue Book values with you. :beer:

You can't go through someone else? You don't have your regular financial institution? was asking because I had no trouble doing 2 loans (not at same time) on mines. Last, and current loan started in Sept 2013. they just remind me of car age and ask if I could talk seller down more but I think in the car financing business they just want to ensure the money they loan can be recovered if buyer defaults somehow they not stuck with car worth half of the loan payoff because a Marauder, a Mustang, a Lightning all are just automobiles to them nothing special, just items to be bought & sold.
I hope you get it, because it will be gone. I only wish that if you didn't get it I could take the trip down and drive it back to Dallas/Ft Worth area.:)

The other four banks don't loan on cars over five years.

I decided to see what the dealer could find. I called them to follow up on my application I sent in online yesterday. Finance manager told me she would call me back. They are closed for the night and I never got a call back. Looking grim.

I can hope they can't sell the car and the price will drop, but doubt it. This car is to clean.

What really sucks is I loose my 500 bucks I put down to reserve the car. Boy, I hate dealers. Oh, well I just got schooled on trying to finance a 11 year old car.

It's not over yet I got til saturday.

[lji372]

If you want it that bad pay for the appraisal and go from there

[handmouth]

If you want it that bad pay for the appraisal and go from there

I thought about doing that, but then I have 890 dollars in a car that I don't have.

The main fear is the appraisal gets done and then the lender changes up the loan costing more. Or worse yet the lender denies the loan. Leaving me 890 in the hole for nothing. The lender won't tell me either way whether the car has a snow ball hell in chance of passing the valuation. I ask then to talk to the appraiser to see if it's in the ball park before he does the appraisal and they say he gets paid to appraise. Sure I get that, but if he's in the business he would know off the top of his head just hearing how much and what said condition the car is in could give a reasonable answer. Boy, this is starting to feel like buying a house all over again.

I guess I need to look for a cheaper car. Buy from a individual. Problem their is most people aren't big on cashier checks. Not sure how they work the deal. Last time I bought a car from a individual and financed it took me a month to get the title.

Oh, well their is the old way of doing things and just save up and buy for cash.

[L.Mark]

Should not have put money down if you weren't goin got get it back...the dealers I've dealt with always said the money was refundable or it would be taken off the price...that sucks though since they aren't out anything to hold that car...

Sadly, I was approved for 16500 and foolishly thought that 21,450 would not be a big deal. I must admit I got a bit over zealous about the car and confident that I had a deal with the lender. The 500 does go toward the purchase of the car. If I can purchase. If not then dealer keeps the money. I can't blame the dealer wanting to keep the money. They took the car off the market for a week. They removed the ebay site and autotrader ad. If I don't buy then they perhaps lost a buyer in the interim.

The problem is the price. Dealer won't come down lender probably won't loan for that amount unless I put some serious cash down. That is if the appraiser doesn't kill the deal.

I think best at this point to walk away with my 500 dollar lesson. Rather then a 890 dollar lesson. Sadly in the midst of all this sits a pristine Marauder waiting to be enjoyed.

[RubberCtyRauder]

I assume you do not have like the cash difference between 16500 and the 21500? I would not finance 21500 on a 11 year old car . That's me personally ,

[palafox]

Sucks that your bank won't play ball. My bank had no problem giving me financing @ 1.99% for a Marauder with 103K on the odometer. Actually, the bank never even asked about the mileage. Just gave me a check to fill in when I found the car I wanted.

Brand new to the MM. I hate to say it, but I'd never even heard of the MM until I saw one on the dealer's website about 2 weeks ago. Drove the 1.5-hour drive to check it out in person last Thursday, and left my 2012 R/T Challenger behind.

Yep, and that is exactly what I think the appraiser will say.

I just don't like the games the lender is playing. They do this for a living and know what they will lend on. How could they not?

Cheaper car with maybe some mods is the way to go. Or just cheaper car. lol

You guys are really supportive on this site. I really respect that. Considering I'm a new guy. Really makes me want to get a car and be a real member.

5k difference, they want you to put up something to insure you won't just walk away from the car. Pay the 5k and go get your car.

[JoeBoomz]

21k is way too high for a stock marauder. I would only pay that if it is in pristine condition and has a ton of upgrades - engine, blower and transmission at minimum.

This x1000000000000000000 I'm sorry but the Marauder is NOT a good car in stock form. People can be as pissed as they want, but lets be really honest here, $21k for a stock Marauder :shake:

I don't care if it had 7 miles on it; do yourself a favor and buy a trilogy car for thousands less. Maybe I'm just crazy though.

[ncmm]

I've been in the market for a Marauder for a year now. I ran across a 03 black b marauder with 16k miles california car. Asking price is 21k. No, sunroof and no traction control. It has the storage box in the back and full size spare.

I thought I would ask the experts if this is a fair deal?

This is true, and in the last several weeks we have seen a few trilogy cars listed for sale for less than 21k.

But, everyone has their own cross to bear, myself, I wanted an unmodded car, so that I could start with a good base(not sure why, I changed everything), but if there is any hint that you may even put gears in it, buy a modded car, better yet buy one from a board member, they are better maintained and taken care of.

Mine was only a few years old when purchased, your looking at hopping into a 11 year old car, personally, and I am not a Chevy person at all, but I would look at a Chevy SS or maybe even a 15' challenger or charger. I think you will be money and mods ahead.

But if your heart is set on a Marauder, I would say look here first, I looked everywhere when I bought mine, everything on lots was what I would consider rough, I looked here, struck a deal and went and got it, still gorgeous today.

You will find the right car if you give it some time and don't hurry.

Hey, don't laugh I was seriously checking in to one of these cars. I have a seventy mile daily round trip. If this car becomes a reality I might just add it to the stable. Hell, I could buy it with a credit card.

[HBTMD]

A slightly used Dodge Charger RT or Chrysler 300 C with the 5.7 liter hemi will give you 370 HP stock. That is about 70 more HP than a stock MM.

My wife has a 2014 Charger RT and compared to the MM at my vacation home, it is a lot faster and a lot more fun to drive.

The MM is still a wonderful car, but in stock form, even with low miles is not worth $21,000 IMHO. :beer:

I will be driving the MM for a week beginning on Sunday when I go to Las Vegas to attend my son's Law School graduation. :banana:

Back home in Fresno my daily driver is a 2013 SRT8 Charger. A whole lot more fun to drive than any thing else I have ever been in. :bows: :D

The Challenger is still on the wish list as well. I have three cars now and only room for one more. I have a dodge already. The Neon Srt-4 with a stage one and a hurst shifter. Most people laugh at it until they run against it.

Right now I'm hung up on a MM. Maybe I'm feeling nostalgic for the days of old. Gonna look for a better deal.

[handmouth]

A nice slap in the face from the dealer. I let the dealer know I can't go forward on the purchase and ask if they would be willing to reduce the price. They say no way. Then the following day they re-list the car 1500 dollars less. Nice.

Time to look at buying from a individual.

A nice slap in the face from the dealer. I let the dealer know I can't go forward on the purchase and ask if they would be willing to reduce the price. They say no way. Then the following day they re-list the car 1500 dollars less. Nice.

Nice car, however,

Sounds like your dealer is a dou%*#bag. :puke:

Hey, don't laugh I was seriously checking in to one of these cars. I have a seventy mile daily round trip. If this car becomes a reality I might just add it to the stable. Hell, I could buy it with a credit card.

Check out this sweet sounding ride on your own MM Board. :beer:

That is the best lesson you learned....

Have your money set up before you find the car next time...:beer:
