    Marauder wheel on e-bay

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-...30981854QQrdZ1

    Must be for the 2001 Marauder, eh?

    OK, so who here is going to mention the slight error to the guy that this is not a marauder rim?

    Does sorta look like a Lincoln or Marquis rim...hard to tell without the centercap.

    yes about two weeks ago. and someone said they e-mailed them. In that auction the seller said it was a 16" wheel for a Mercury Marauder.

    Okay just found the thread:

    http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...marauder+wheel

    When the auction was started it said it was a 16" wheel not an 18"

    Rod.

    So all they did was change the size of the rim, not the fact that it's no a Marauder rim...maybe some one should send them a pic of an actual Marauder rim...isn't it a crime to false advertise?

    I just told the Seller (via ebay) that it was not a Marauder wheel. Here is the response:

    Actually the part number on the rim is applicable for a 2003 Maruader. It may be compatible with other vehicles but it is available for a Maruader as well.

    Yours truly,
    Meteorite - Royal Oak, Michigan

    2003 300A - Black VIN = xxxxxxxxxxx600051 *** Build Date = 3/13/2002
    Best e.t. -- 12.31 @ 111.5 mph *** Now with: Trilogy #220, Alternative Auto Performance Tune + 4.10 Gears +SW headers + Metco control arms + Addco front and rear sta-bars + Dynotech Metal Matrix Driveshaft + Weldcraft widened wheels & MT drag radials.

    2003 300B - Blue

    And now ... 2003 Black (Trilogy #58)

    Actually this dumbass is applicable to be seen in public. He may not be compatible with difficult words like "MARAUDER" but can still create attention through misleading information.

    Just sent this message to the seller...

    "No questions to ask, but need to tell you this isn't a Marauder wheel. Looks more like a Gran Marquis wheel, but for sure, it cannot be used on a Marauder without three more just like it, and the correct tire size ratios in the PCM, or the ABS and Traction control will ***** chickens. Ask anyone at MercuryMarauder.Net, or, have your service manager read up in the Helms books?

    The problem with your post, is that anyone looking for a Gran Marquis wheel, won't see your offering."

    We'll see what happens now...
