Sorry to post here as my first post. Been a member at CVN for a while and never had any new earth shattering info to post here but always enjoyed the insight.
So this is my Merc. So far I've had 2 types of people who come look at this car. The first type is the professional test driver that is an expert on all car specs and wants to "slap a super charger on it and tub it". The second type is the guy that thought this car had 13 oil changes in nearly 20 yrs and thought it would be showroom perfect. And since it isn't, start deducting from the asking price for paint, tires, yada yada yada.
It isn't perfect, but what car is?
So the high point...It's extremely low miles. I have only put about 3500 on it since I got it in 2015.
The low point...It needs a blend door actuator.
Changes from stock that I know of...The previous owner stated the ECU was retuned for higher shift points under hard throttle. The front cat on each side has been removed, leaving the second cat (and 02 sensor) and muffler for each side.
I own a small business and my daily commute is killing me in gas so I needed to liquidate to buy a hybrid of some sort. This car costs me nothing more than registration and insurance to sleep quietly in my garage so I thought I'd let it go. Begrudgingly.
You guys know far more about Marauders than "just a black Grand Marquis" types and I won't be able to slip anything past you. That's why I have come to you. Because you appreciate them as much as I do. Hell, you might even know the car personally for all I know. Open and clear title, and ready to deal down a bit from my asking price.
