Sticky: Difference between a 2003 300A and a 300B

[GreekGod]

No noticeable performance difference, but the '04 has a stronger transmission.

The transmission difference is minor...a nice '03 could be a better deal than an '04.

STAPrap,

Good to hear from you again. You of all people should know this stuff by heart since you put 'em together for us. Sounds like you have a mix of 300A (map pockets and dash clock) and 300B (Traction Control and Donut Spare). Could be typical of the Canadian MMs or one of the Transition MM that we used to call "Pre-Decontented" versions. Do you have the remote fuel door release or the one with the thumb indent? Black valve covers? FYI -- My 300B was built 3 months later and I have the engine hood light as well. Don't know exactly when those lights disappeared.

[MM03MOK]

IIRC, the Canadian cars for 2003 were not made until the production line transitioned from 300A to 300B. All Canadian cars are called 300As (same as the US 300B for 2003.)

[STAPrap]

Yah I remember the CDN models coming out later.

The reason I asked is because yes,I was pretty sure I've got a pre-decontented version.

I have black valve covers and remote fuel door release yes.

Car is $14,900 Canadian before tax and has 24,500 miles or 40,471kms to be exact.1 owner,plastic still on floor under mats from factory and checks out clean,no history of accidents etc. maitanence is all good.

Is the above a good price guys?


thank you

1 CAD = 0.822 USD

$14,900 CAD = $12,247.80 USD

I would say that $12.5K USD is a very good price for an MM with < 25K miles, clean history and excellent condition. Just Do It !!! .........

i have a 2004 300a model built nov2003 and has 4r75w transmission no hood light ,heated seats,light flint interior w light flint colored leather seats,i believe it has a oil cooler im almost certain,aluminum coil covers,windshied upper tint,cig lighter w no ashtray?extra wiring that leads to something i havent figured out yet

[jvillerauder]

i almost forgot it has traction control

[GreekGod]

All Marauders have oil coolers.

[FordNut]

All Marauders have oil coolers.

Really????

[jvillerauder]

hell yea thats cool

[Brian H]

Mine is # 575 and it has heated seats, not working at this time,. 300A

[Canadasvt]

What about the battery? My '04 Canadian came with a 750. I've heard some MM came with a 650

[Bulten Rauder]

$14,900.00CAN for a used MM with 46,000KM's is so sweet I'd be suspicious! I've seem many for over $24K up here. Hope it has decent rubber and brakes cause that will set you back some bucks...
