Bout to buy a Marauder, need Help!!

[MarauderMatt200]

Hey guys im about to buy a 2003 Marauder. Its in excellent shape. has 88K miles im getting it for 11,500. only issue is AC works but only blows on high and rear end i noticed a lil leakage. Is this a good price for this car. I love these cars and they are hard to find close to me. Thanks for the help. Any advice is appreciated.

The price may be a bit high. The rear end leaking may be a problem. Where is it leaking at? If it is leaking at the end of the axles then you are going to need to have it worked on quick. The 2003's are known for bad axle bearings. I had one that hit 100,000 miles and the bearing seized up and caused the rear wheel to fall off. Luckily the wheel waited until they were unloading it off the tow truck to fall off. Other than that sounds like you found a good one. Good luck!

Welcome to The Collective, Matt...

The fan stuck on high is most likely the BSCM (Blower Speed Control Module). It's a common simple-to-repair failure.

Rear end leakage can be simple and inexpensive or the opposite...where exactly is it leaking from?

Congrats. Glad to see another marauder found a good home to give it some TLC. Welcome to the site!

The price is a bit high... Do your homework Matt... Carfax?

You can't say the price is "high" having never laid eyes on the car , no used car is going to be perfect , and if the car is in excellent shape , and extremely clean paint its worth what someone is willing to pay.

You may need to budget for a rear end rebuild with a leak and that many miles. Leaks are usually a symptom of something worse.

Hard to say on the price, if it is super clean might be worth it. Otherwise I would say it is high given it may need some not-so-minor work.

[Gerry24]

You pay 10k for a ride that you don't have to much to it, not the other way around!

[MOTOWN]

So two extremely common problems such as a bcm fix , and a possible rear end rebuild is lot for a 12 year old car? get real!
