    One owner no rust no mods 76K I'd do $10,500-11,500 . I'd want a moonroof and rear spoiler for the top number.

    I’ll let a few more people chime in before I tell you guys how much I paid.

    I know my last one had a moonroof and spoiler. Those are great options. The spoiler gives a great sporty look.

    Ive bought four cars from this website. All of them have been much nicer than expected. If you can clearly view the photos and get a decent description from the owner then the car will be super sweet. Best thing about buying a Silver Birch from taxes is it gonna have no rust at all hopefully You don't you have to work on it, it's not gonna be all rusty and simple to work on..


    I would clean the front radiator and get the air conditioning serviced do some suspension mods like lower bushings front and rear from the dry heat and then drive it. I paid $2000 for a wrecked one, put it back together and my dad drives it daily..

    Private party I would be down lower then the above users. I would be coming in around $8500-$9500. I paid $9300 for my '04 SB with 97k from a used car dealer. Talked them down from $10,500

    Yeah these cars are honestly all over the board.

    I paid $7,100 plus $700.00 for the transportation carrier so $7,800 shipped to my door. If it’s mechanically sound then I think a pretty decent deal or maybe good deal with the mileage and being a one owner car and I believe it really was the wife’s car because it was also titled in her name so I’m pretty sure this women did not abuse this car like her husband mentioned

    I paid 6,900 shipped to my door for the last 2004 SB that I had bought from Massachusetts. That was in August of 2018. That one had 112k miles. It had a super clean interior though and also had a few options this one does not with the heated seats, moonroof and spoiler. Only con was that was underbody rust was pretty bad and also some surface rust starting to attack the inner doors but the body and paint was still beautiful. I got lots of compliments on it. I ended up having 8,000 grand into it after adding some flowmasters and some other maintenance then I ended up selling it for 8,000 to break even In late May. I had regret selling it ever since.

    I just found this one on eBay. One owner 107k miles. Asking 9,600

    I would agree heavily with the "all over the board", but that's what happens when you have a late model limited production vehicles, especially ones that are abstract.

    Looks and sounds like you got a fair deal especially if it runs. Which I imagine it does. I believe he showed you the oil dipstick to show that he did indeed just change the oil so you would have thing less to worry about. Good luck with your new ride!

    The $9600.00 silver birch marauder on eBay, I private messaged him on eBay when he had it priced at $9999.99 buy it now $12,9999.99,... he mentioned in his ad his was priced that high because of the other silver birch was set to $15,999.99 with 90k....

    I mentioned to him that the seller of the 3 highest priced Marauders on eBay have not sold in over a year. I think they are coming up for sale at 2 years soon... he is a smart man, quickly lowered the price to a somewhat reasonable price...
    In the next few weeks I'll have my insurance check from totaling out my DTR, I keep telling myself I don't need another silver birch marauder....

    Yes, you do.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    You did good that’s a sweet price. Also alota Marauder owners are genuine and truthful when it comes to these cars. Sometimes that’s hard to find.

    I remember buying my 88 Crown Vic police car on ebay maybe 10 years ago. Not quite "site unseen" since there was good photos but I did pay before I had my brother and Dad pick it up for me. Car gave me many years of good service. Still have it but it had the diaphram on the VV carb go bad which I struggled to find a mechanic that could tune a good carb on it.

    Looks like you did really well my friend! A good car is worth a "shot in the shade" (you weren't completely in the dark after all!). Looking forward to your hi res pics and then your upgrade list!
