If it doesn't sell, its priced too high. Same as real estate.

Agreed. If I couldn't drive it then I don't want it. Locally, there is a '71 Hemi Cuda with 2,100 original miles, a '1 of 1' options car. It is also considered to be a 'reference grade car'. Been on sale for many years and has an interesting history. Current asking price is $1.2M? If I bought it tomorrow I would replicate factory a/c and it would become part of my daily driver fleet...

Panther Prices are going up in General. I think it may have something to do with Ford pulling out of the Sedan market.
2003 Mercury Marauder- Stock with 223k miles.
2000 Crown Victoria P73. Deep Wedge Wood Blue.
SW longtube headers and high flow cats, magnaflow mufflers, 3.55 gears w/track lock, 70mm Aviator TB, PnP factory plenum, ADTR intake tube, 87 octaine tune by MO. Bilstein HD shocks, Mecto Rear control arms w/ watts link, Addco custom order 1.5 inch front sway bar (38mm), 1.25 inch rear bar 31.75mm (only 11 made).
Maybe there is just fewer marauders out there . I am in the market for one but the ones I am seeing are over built or just plan beaters . I had 2 new ones maybe I am expecting to much for whats still out there

My credit union loan valued my car at $5000. I bought it for $5500. Based on "sale ads" my car would probably list in the $7k range.
The lot I bought it from had a few others and had sold a few recently. He said that's the biggest issue, most banks won't loan for selling price because the booked value is over under on them.
How many years has this one been listed on Auto Trader? He started by asking $37,500.00 and now he wants $52,500.00. Must be one of those Mexican Cartel cars with dope packed under the rear seats? Still laughing about the brand new Fusions found last year packed with dope right off of the train....

The same images were used to list the car as an '03 with slightly less miles at the beginning of the listing years ago. Paid $12k for mine; state DMV listed it for tax purposes at $4.5K. Wondering what State Farm will pay in the case of a total loss?
Was just notified my final retirement income stream comes on line in July. First wave of intended mods should be finished by the end of the summer. Just found out my car is equipped with the super rare, double top secret 'Marauder Performance Package' - more details later!

Unfortunately, everybody wants dumb CUVs nowadays. Hopefully some day, the pendulum will swing back to sedans (once the advantage of riding high disappears because everybody else is doing it too).
