Sorry for the disappearing act. I had a dealership offer me the asking price (7750) in trade on 11/22 and I jumped on it. Got the fiancee a nice new 2012 Kia Forte Koup out of the deal (I get to drive it occasionally, lol). Miss the MM just about every day, but I knew what I was getting into...

^^There will always be others available, and if the seller is still upset after hearing your reason for not buying, then he's just an ass. Sorry for your loss, and hope you can realize your ambition to own the MM further down the road.

So, there is one at a dealer in the state with almost identical mileage to mine for 8988. I doubt I should be at dealer-level prices. If I can get the EATC or the heated seats corrected over the holiday (got nothing done today, regretfully) might move upwards a little bit--the head unit can...

Too cheap? I was going by what I found as far as private party values, plus the mileage and the few issues that I mentioned...hmm. Haven't posted to Craigslist or Autotrader yet, maybe I need to adjust the price for those listings. Consider this price the mm.net special I guess--I'd much...

Regrettably, the time has come to sell my Marauder. Need something more practical and with lower fuel costs for my daily commute and I can't justify keeping it, even as happy as I've been with the car. So, the basics-- -2003 300B, Silver Birch with Light Flint interior. Build date...

I've gotten mixed results trying the brake tap trick--seems to stop it sometimes, not others. In either case I'm going to have the trans fluid replaced tomorrow and also check to see if it's throwing a code (CEL isn't on, but I don't suppose that always means much).

So for a little bit now, my MM has had a "jerky" feeling at part throttle--it sort of shudders/bucks/feels almost like the trans is doing something funky. Only happens at part throttle. Seems worse on hot days and it's definitely worse when the A/C is on. I can tell it's still doing it with...

I've got 255/55/18 rears also (Kumho Ecsta STX) and the sidewall difference isn't much visually. If anything, I like that it increases the rake a bit since I'm running the stock front size.

Which Pirellis? I'm considering the P-Zero Nero.

Taking a slightly different tack on it, what would I lose going with something like the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum? Granted, it's "grand touring" instead of "ultra high performance" but come on -- it's a Marauder, not a Lotus. Unless I'm going to be sliding all over the road or something, I'd be...

With apologies for asking in multiple threads, but this one seems a bit more active--Pirelli P-Zero Nero. Yay? Nay? No opinion?

^I can appreciate the practical benefits of that, but I think it would look a little odd to have that much rubber in the front wheelwells, plus lose the front-rear rake. ^^I'll have to check craigslist and ebay I suppose. I'm just looking for a good all-around tire--I have fun when I drive, but...

It's that time yet again--not even 2 years after the last replacement and again I'm down to cord on the inner edge (really need to find a shop who will align to the proper specs, I've had 3 now tell me "can't be done.") Any input on the Pirelli P-Zero Nero in the stock front size? The KDWS has...

I've had the car ('03 300B SB)for about 3.5 years now and put over 50K miles on it (sitting on about 96K) and I've been, for the most part, happy with the quality. I've had some minor issues--the lights on the seat heater button don't work most of the time and flicker when they do, the lights...

I think this was last Wednesday maybe? Headed east on Carpenter Fletcher just after it stops being Woodcroft Parkway. I was headed west in my silver MM. Saw another black one in the vicinity of NC State last week (on Western Blvd) and one with DC plates westbound on I-40 sometime last month...
