    Talking Marauderless member now with an 04 DTR

    I've been on here a bit, I still own my 05 Sport, I recently saw a 04 in the ad board for sale from Florida...... yes Eric's.

    Long story short, I bought the car, drove 1100 miles to go get it to drive it to it's new home, that was a long 24 hours. This car will now reside in the Dayton Ohio area.

    Eric has done most all the mods that I myself would have done, plus he had an extended care warranty that he included in the deal, we came to a mutual financial agreement, and the car is now mine.

    I can honestly say I wish I would have bought/found one sooner, I looked for a nice used affordable example for over a year.

    A word to sellers, if you advertise it, don't send some crappy 2 year old picture phone snap that you are trying to get stand up money out of. And then blow the buyer off, I got that treatment on several occasions.

    There were other sellers that took the time to answer all questions, provide a phone # for contact etc.. And that, is what customer service is about.

    There are a lot of great people on this board who know their stuff when it comes to these cars, I hope to take it all in and, maybe know .5% of what most of you guys do.

    Thanks for letting me participate on the board.

    Congrats on your purchase. Enjoy your new ride.
    (#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.

    Well, it is sort of driveable and I still a right headlamp. Deer are so cute, just not as hood ornaments...

    Actually ... Suzi drove it ONCE, the first time you met her.

    You had my Town Car for a few days and we came down to pick it up.

    I drove the TC home & she followed me in the MM.

    And IIRC, the only reason I didn't drive the MM back was ..... you had told me the gas smelled kinda funky in the TC, when you changed the fuel filter.

    So, I brought a couple of cans of Seafoam down with me, to dump in the TC for the ride back ... but I wanted to make sure the TC got a nice an thorough "workout" on the way home to be sure the Seafoam mixed in real good & made it's way thru the entire fuel system, to clean it out.

    She didn't even try to keep up(probably a GOOD thing) ... tho she certainly would have & then some if she did.




    It was time for a new signature .....

    Here it is .....

    Darren,

    I'm glad you were in the market and you are happy with your purchase.

    I can rest easier knowing it went to someone that will take pride in it, like I did.

    The are no words that can describe how much I will miss that car.

    Rest assured, I will own another when the time is right.
