8/23/17 - I guess it's for sale again. The car died 2 days ago. The driver's side head has no compression. 110,XXX miles. Price is very negotiable...

I don’t want to sell this car, but it is time to buy something that makes more sense for my DD…
I want this done by the end of December, so if it’s not gone by then, it gets traded in. But I’d rather keep it in the family…

I bought the car in June of 2012 with 42,XXX miles. It now has 95,XXX. I bought it from the original owner who had it stored in his garage in AZ. No real accidents. I backed into a car a while back, messing up the left side of the bumper, and haven’t gotten that fixed (included in pics). Easily fixable, I just haven’t had time. I have only used full synthetic oil.

Comes with the Mercury Marauder limited edition certificate. #5325

Mods:
410 Gears
Xcal 3 tuner (tuned locally by Excessive)
Rear spoiler
Red (stock) calipers
BC4E dead pedal
JLT intake (with extra filter and cleaning kit), comes with stock airbox
Jmod, comes with the springs that were removed.
Rear cat delete, comes with stock header to cat-back section with original cats. Can be put back to stock.
Lowered (3/4 coil removed from front, air ride adjusted in back)
MuscleMerc head cooling mod
TCE stainless steel brake lines front are rear
Drilled/Slotted rotors.
Badgeless grill (made by me), I have the OEM grill.
Custom rear badge. “Mercury Marauder” with OEM wheel center cap. I’m happy to keep this if someone doesn’t want it. I have the OEM badge.
Gorilla locking lug nuts.
OEM trunk organizer
JLT oil separator
Husky all weather front floor mats. I only used the OEM mats for 6 months, included.

Good:
Runs great. Chrips the tires all day.
The interior is in great shape.
All the mods!
Tires have good tread. ~5k miles on the front tires, maybe ~10k miles on the rears. (one of the rears was just replaced…)
Full size spare.

Bad:
The engine has a ticking/rattling sound coming from the driver’s side head. The mechanic doesn’t seem worried about it. I’m guessing the head needs to be rebuilt. Still runs great.
Normal Marauder paint, but it presents very well. There are a few tiny spots on the roof, but those have been there since I bought it, they haven’t changed much. There are 2 or 3 small door dings, a little dent in the passenger side front fender, and some random scratches around the car that will buff out.

Misc. parts I will include if I get the asking price:
-Extra OEM bumper. Needs a small hole repaired, and body work.
-1 wheel center cap
-Used set of SS bumper inserts. (not installed)

Sigh.

reasonable price -Dealer will cut you to the bone with a noisy motor, You probably need timing chain guides [ I replaced mine at 160,000 at home, some guys cars were replaced at 90,000 , I guess it is the luck of the draw . I let my MM go recently to a ford tech at 161,000 miles and I got what you are asking and my car was 100% with no flaws. You might be better off trading it. GLWTS

Did the mechanic do a compression/leakdown test?
 
If you end up trading it in, take the tune organizer out and sell it on here. I'd be interested in the BC4E dead pedal, that's quick to remove and easy to ship.

Thanks. I think my price is fair. I did get an offer from the dealer that was decent. Hoping to sell it to someone that will love it..,and get a little more money.

If I trade it in, I'm removing everything I can. I might leave the tuner with the car, just to be nice.

Brad did you end up selling your Marauder? Haven't seen any activity from you so just wondered if you still have it

I still have it. Still love it. Still thinking about selling it at some point. I'd rather keep it and by another DD. But...we have a baby girl coming in August, so priorities change. We'll see!
 
Anyone interested? I need to get rid of the car ASAP. I don't have anywhere to store it.
