Good job! It's a beauty, I was trying to get the funds, but then next day a lower cost Sport came up here, local to me. I went the next day and cash offered it. Picked it up the following weekend.
Since then I've put 1500 fun miles on her. Daily to work, which I RARELY would do in Marauder, for safety reasons.

Marauder forum, yes. Panther lovers, I hope so!
Yours is in better shape than mine, but I got suspension upgrades already done.
I'll be adding TCE SS brake lines and a Homelink overhead console.
I was driving a 2014 Accord V6 sedan, loaded - and have not been in that car since bringing the 129000 mile Sport home.
As long as I can afford the gas, I'm driving the Sport, and on weekend country road cruises - it's really as fun as Marauder because NO stress of hurting a Unicorn or being busted for boost abuse! It actually turns heads and get's compliments too!
I put less miles on Marauder this way also.
Now, I'll have a blast next time I take Marauder out and feel the power and mintness around me :)

So, welcome to the LX Sport DD club, and congrats :beer:

I HATE that nonense.
I have taken 4 non refunded deposits for a small boat before, for this reason.
"I want it - here's $100, hold it for me, I'll be back Saturday to get it!"
Friday: "my wife said no boat, sorry guy, can I get my deposit back?"
yes, from your wife. :violin:

Hey Tom! The previous owner found another key. I've got it, so I need to drop that off with you somehow.

Well today I finally got to drive the above new Silver Birch Beauty to work---

WOW--What a pleasure --except for the power of course ,and rear gears, you would think you are in a Marauder!!! with its color and interior all taken from the Marauder.

For those who own one--I am glad to be associated with you and love this new Daily Driver..

Carry on yall.

the above picture shows how nice your Sport is!:beer:

You said it - but for power and gears, riding inside is dreamy...
I've been modding mine a little. Not as rewarding as doing Marauder mods, but handling + brakes + audio + appearence stuff helps the daily driving experience. Filling up with 87 octane doesn't hurt either, FWIW.
Enjoy it! :D

Thanks Eric--and for those not in the know--I hit a deer with this beauty last Monday---took out my right passenger lights and corner lights and header panel on the same side-...the good part--my insurance is taking care in FULL of repairing it....including both new headlights.....

.and thanks again "chief" for the comments---yep---fun to drive---going from a 287 rear to a 327 is nice for a change off the line..........

Nice. I want one!!!

If your interested in an '04 Marauder--got a friend getting ready to sell his--I have driven it and its a great one--He just put new rear diff upgrade and 410's ....really is nice--about 125K on the clock--but that means nothing to these cars--Here in Charlotte.. He should be posting pics soon.
He will add the other goddies in his sale listing.

I imagine it will be around $8500--but he will tell all.

Trust me--Its better that a ton this age!!
