He didn't say anything about replacing the engine... Even if the two paint issues were corrected, there is still something odd going on with the paint. Specifically on the driver's side where the roof meets the rear quarter, the paint was cracked.

I almost offered him 9k, but I didn't feel like dealing with it.

If anyone is interested in this car...PM me.

When I looked at the first post in this thread, the first things I noticed were the wheels, and the gas cap being way darker than the rear quarter panel. Then this...

I still think it is a good car, for the right person, for the right price, with the money to fix the issues.

I guess I should have been more detailed in my original post. About the engine. The engine was replaced due to a cracked head. This happened when a summer storm hit and it was swamped by a wake of water that came over the hood from a semi into the engine block. Water cracked it. The car itself only has 41K on it but the engine only has 1K. This is a new engine with warranty. Not a rebuilt.

I am the third owner. Sure it could use a paintjob. There are also the dings I mentioned. The exterior clearly could use some work and Im willing to take that into consideration if an offer is made.

Everyone who took it for a test drive commented on how it ran well. The interior is very clean. It would be a good car for someone who wants a Marauder and wants to tinker with it. Im not here to unload a bad car on some sucker. It really is a good car. I figured someone here could appreciate it. I have taken it to CarMax and they offered me more than 9K for it. If no one wants it, thats where it will go.

I will answer any other questions that come up.

Did a Ford dealer put in the NEW engine? What is the warrantee? Is it transferable?
