30,319 miles on the odomiter and about 50 minutes from me, lies an 04 DTR marauder. Ive been looking for black, i test drove 1 and it just wasnt meant to be, and the other black i wanted to look at was sold but never taken off the web Rolling Eyes

I never really considered red but ive seen some modified DTR "Dark toreador red" that have changed my mind and i wouldnt mind at all.

I have the full oasis report and its clean, nothing major just normal oil changes and so, and the carfax says it was a leased car.

On sunday or saturday (dont know which yet) im going to go check it out.

So is this worth the buy? If i buy this i would have 0 money to mod my blade for a while, but thats ok, its a marauder!

Autotrader

BTW this is a serious post, ive been looking for a marauder to actually own for quite some time now, and i already test drove one with my dad. have pics to prove it, these are fun cars and get good gas mileage, 22mpg highway and 17 town, not bad for a high output 4.6L dohc cobra motor Laughing


Heres the oasis report i got from a friend on mm.net

Here is the OASIS report for the VIN#2MHHM79V84X667373:
Build date:3/16/03
Wty start date:3/23/03
vehicle has no recalls but has CA type emissions
OASIS shows a 6/60 PremiumCare policy w/$100 deductible. This can be had for a small fee but it is a PITA.

my good sir you are wrong at cop, as the only thing it shares with the P71 panther is the frame

This is a mercury, God of speed, not law enforcement! Laughing

I agree with Van, buy a truck; Between me and my dad we've had 5 Ford Rangers and they can't be beat. an '85, 2 1990's, 2004 (mine now) and a '07(dads). The 1990 I had was a 4.0 with 4X4 and could go anywhere, good luck bro

It is only Like not is

If people on the highway get out of my way going to school then i'd be plenty happy driving a car that looks like a cop car.

You mean like this?





I'd rather do this, but do it the right way, not the stall your engine and pass the fuel through way
