I own a 03 CVPI that is somewhat modded, good and reliable, but the body and interior is rough. 2 year member over at CVN.
rather than fixing the body and interior issues, I figure it'll be more economical to get a marauder.
I live in just north of Seattle Washington. willing to drive to look at anything as far as idaho/oregon, and will consider cars at a further distance if the price is right and a buyers inspection is performed.
currently in the works with a dealer very close to me that has an 03, but I think he needs to drop the price a bit before we can deal.
seattle marauder the original sticker said 10.9 but hes now got it on special for 7.9k its got 156k mi, body is near perfect, interior needs some work, small rip ontop of the center console, guage pod is missing, does have the heated seats, aftermarket moonroof but headliner is hanging some, and two inches of water on the passanger rear floorboard(firewall or moonroof). engine seems to run great could use a belt and oil change, motorcraft battery and wipers tell me it was dealer serviced, but the rear end is howling(03 axles & bearings)
I'm a professional mechanic, I fixed the water leaks on my CVPI, as well as the axles, but parts alone are going to cost 600-800 for the axles, the water leaks will just take time and some silicone, the gauge pod can be found for around 100$?
do you think its worth the 8000+taxes considering the miles and repairs needed I was offering 6500. I do like it becuase its mostly unmolested, heated seats and clean body.
