    Overpriced '04?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercu...QQcmdZViewItem
    I think it is. And, his facts are wrong. Not to fear though! I've corrected him and sent him an e-mail, can't wait if tells me to screw lol. There were 1,059 black '04 MM's with dark charcoal interior, and not 873. Not to mention he thinks he's pushing 325hp with his "powerchip" and drop in K&N.

    Regardless - 2004's are rare, 3,213 to be exact! No telling how many are left. My '04 isn't for sale. Period. This guy should store it and get a second vehicle anyway.

    ** hee shold lern too spel** no problem i got you...

    i am not even 45 miles from him maybe i could take a trip up there and tell him the real facts raudermaster. but he might shun away my 03... its not rare enough, you know only 1,248 were made like minelol

    The 2003 Model was at best, mediocre. the next year, they got it right. The 2004 Marauder was perfect. Mercury took a Grand Marque & put a 325HP, 318ft lbs torque engine, added tuned suspension & almost every option available.

    i am offended... to say that the 03 was mediocre is completely wrong. to my knowledge there was no significant difference between the two years. my 300a is darn close to his, sorry i dont have traction control turn off and map pockets(which i dislike), but honestly he needs to get his ego down to about 302hp. oh btw i also have a k&n full intake and flowmasters

    Damn, ended up with a, at best, mediocre Marauder. Guess I should have done more research ;-7...

    I think it's funny how he blocked out his front tag but not the rear tag in one picture.

    I don't like the inferior 03 reference myself, as I have the inferior FULLY CONTENTED model myself.

    But, "Overpriced" is in the eye of the beholder though.

    LOL. I think me and hot-rauder should definately take a ride up to this a-hole's house and check this thing out and straighten him out. Look what he writes back to me, "sorry you got stuck with the the 2003. there are many structural diffs. why do you think there are so many for sale?(2003 models)
    do me a favor though. check the figures with the heated seats option...
    In 2004 there was only 873 Black Marauders with dark charcoal interior heated seats

    I think your 1059# is close, however factor in heated seats and there is only 873.

    check that out and get back to me. thanks"

    And this is about the HP one, "t sure does Mr. know-it-all. what does it say about adding a Jet Performance Chip(adds 10-50 horsepower. www.racepages.com) and a K&N Highflow Airfilter. Adds(17.32 HP www.knfilters.com)With this info the HP at the low end would be 327.32+. Get back to me when you have better things to do, rather than write to people about how wrong they are. When its you thats wrong. you should ask before you tell me whats up. Because now you sound like a little Miss smarty-pants, thats WRONG"

    This guy trusts the internet too much.
    This is what I wrote back, "Dude, just because it says that, you are NOT getting no where near that to the REAR WHEELS. Maybe you're getting that at the crank/flywheel. And, if you HAVE A CLUE, and think you know it all, man up and join mercurymarauder.net. Also, be sure to look for the thread where we're talking about you. And for the record, JET chip's SUCK! If you knew anything, you would have got an SCT Xcal2. "

    Of course, we all know he won't join because he's too much of a know it all, and know matter what we tell him, he think's he'll be right when he just looks like an ass. I gotta ask though, I must be doing something wrong when I've spent over $1,000 to mod my Marauder, and I'm probably only getting 260-280 to my rear wheels, and he has two mods that got him into the 300's. That 2003 comment irritated the hell out me since that's not the case at all. It's ok though, he probably got over charged for his '04 when the dealer told him, "The '04's were bullet proof and a lot better than the '03's." I'm sure they saw him coming from a mile away.

    Cool Overpriced '04

    I've see two or three advertised in Southeastern Pennsylvania in the past month and the going rate is $ 19,000 to $ 20,000 but they have half or less mileage. I have 67K on mine and can't tell you what its worth since no way in h e double hockey sticks would I sell the best car I've ever owned. The car is advertised as black with the light grey interior which is what I have. I read many times only 147 of these built with this color combination so maybe that ups the price a bit. Also, mine has 6 CD changer and sunroof and heated seats and I understand there are less than 100 of these ever bulit with the black and grey color combination.
