    I FINALLY got my first Marauder!!!

    I have wanted a Marauder since before you could buy it and I traded in my 04 Mustang and bought a black 2004 with 24k on the clock. The car only had one owner, so I am #2 and it has the moonroof I wanted. The car is in very nice shape I think, I looked for a while. I want to do a Trilogy soon as I get more $$$ but gears and a tunner are first. Just thought I would say the car is awsome and I am could not stop smiling while diving it home . Can't wait to take it to Woodward.

    Congrats on your purchase. Enjoy!!
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Welcome to the best car club on the net! Browse, question, comment...you'll find plenty here to make you laugh, cry, and genuinely wonder about why you didn't sell your first born to buy a Marauder earlier.
