Found this car on craigslist.
Very tempting. The only problem is I already have a blue MM with no upgrades. This car has all the after market stuff done to it that I want to do to my car.
Does the price sound good for what it has?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Keep your blue, there is a COMPLETE eaton swap supercharger kit in the forsale section for $3800 which will prolly be sold by end of day.

There are grille bars missing and factory grilles are obsolete, only choice is aftermarket or if someone lists one for sale. How many miles on yours?

I have 71000 miles on mine. Very clean. All original except for a cold air intake put on by previous owner.

While the price may be good, you already have the rarest colour. If you want a blower, do as RCR suggested and get the Eaton swap kit.

You also don't know for how long the Vortech was on that car and how badly it was beat on. Keep yours.

^^^What they said^^^

The Eaton Swap currently offered was put together right, nearly everything is new. Can't beat the price!

It's going to go quick..the eaton swap..I would keep yours, a 2nd option is coming very, very soon..ADTR.net is putting together a vortech kit for Marauders..3 different stages/levels..A stock car is fine, you can add a few things over time..Check out the thread I started yesterday in the "power adder" category. Blue is rare and you know it inside and out. If you want supercharged..i would go this way unless a long term member here is selling one that we know the condition of..but a craigslist ad one..it's a gamble.IMO

RCR has it nailed. Snag clintons4 Eaton swap, quickly, or wait for the new ADTR kit - your 71k mile car is yours already, and ripe for a swap. You'll know it was done right, if you do it to your own car. good luck!

There are grille bars missing and factory grilles are obsolete, only choice is aftermarket or if someone lists one for sale. Badge-less grille mod is another option...

100% agree.

Even if a few things need to be sorted you'd have a solid foundation.

Thanks, again for all the great advice. You guys are the best.

I would consider buying it as a second MM, but I already have four cars and no garage space left. Man, decisions decisions.
