    Ask attorney all of the questions that you have. Some to consider asking are: How do I make sure that I will owe no money on the mortgage balance after the house is sold? Will the co-owner of the house (who is likely on the mortgage note) still be responsible for the mortgage balance...

    Looking at an 03 marauder, advise?

    A flashing airbag light need not be a deal breaker. It could be an airbag sensor. A dealer can likely determine the cause but interpreting the sequence of the flashing of the light. For example, 4 flashes and then one more can signify a sensor in the left front part of the car.

    How many original owners are still here?

    I bought a 2003 Blue in May 2003. An extremely enjoyable car which combines a rare blend of sport and comfort. Maybe Ford or GM will make a similar car in the future. However, the greater likelihood is that the Marauder is the last of a breed. I once read an article that someone bought six...

    Is oil pressure guage still available from Ford?

    Not a $50 guage. Ford's price is-----$289----plus labor. However, the warranty will cover. However, it does make you wonder who arrives at the price and the customer's pain of having to pay out of pocket.

    The car had a transmission flush last year. I think it was no more than $120. Try to wait for the Ford advertisement mailer which includes a discounted price.
