Greetings everyone! I'm in the process of buying a silver 2003 MM (55.5K miles); sent the signed paperwork back to dealer today. I'm in SC and car is in NM. I have many, many questions to ask and am hoping for some help from all the experts out there. Firstly, does anyone know of a reliable, somewhat inexpensive shipping service I can use to get my MM from NM to my house? Also, are there any 'you need to do...' things when I get my MM? That's all I'll ask for now...

A little about me: In the Air Force, MSgt (E-7), will hit 20 years in May. I've been wanting a MM for 4 years now; next week I turn 40, so this is my b-day present to myself. Originally from Charlotte, NC. I'm hoping I can make the Marauder event scheduled for October.

Okay, one more question...Anyone interested in buying a 2001 VW Jetta VR6? I bought it brand new in Oct 2000, has 135K miles, every bell and whistle offered, black with biege/tan leather interior, and has been well maintained. I need to clean 'er up a bit. Has never been in accident, has about 3 or 4 dings, none larger than a quarter. Bought new tires 3 months ago. 4 years in Mass has put half a dozen 1/2 inch chips on front of hood, though...I swear they use gravel to winterrize the roads! It's been a great car for me...still has good power/acceleration and gets 20/27mpg. I'm not saying it's showroom condition, but I get a lot of 'wow's when I tell people it's 10 years old.

I hope to have my MM sitting in my driveway by next Wednesday....can't wait to see MY F***ING MARAUDER and showing it off!!!! I've only seen a couple on the road since I moved here in 2007...

I'd fly out and pick it up and drive it back.
 
Welcome to the network of MM owners and modifiers. Ford made it good, but we make it more good......gooder......goodest?

Go to some MM events and get to meet some really friendly people.

Enjoy your marauder ,wish there were more on the road ill go monthes at a time without seeing another marauder .i have a sb also.
 
Welcome to the site and your Marauder. If you are in the GS area we are down there in Garden City Beach 1st week of July.
 
Thanks everyone for the welcome! Just got back from a party at a friends' house...I was pretty hammered but seem to be astonishingly (is that a word?) sober now. I thought about fly out/drive back, but don't have the time and figured it would cost at least $800 between airfare/gas/hotels/food. I live about 30 mins north of Charleston. And I am a Packers Fan! SUPERBOWL CHAMPS, BABY!!!. (Parents are from U.P., moved to Charlotte in '67). I'm sure once I get my MM in the driveway, the questions will be overflowing. Looking forward to picking everyone's brain for ideas...
 
Congrats on the car and I am sure you will love the car. Check the shippers out good on the web for complaints. Will probably cost you at least that much now to get it to you.
 
welcome to the forum. I just got mine shipped from Texas to Northern VA in November for $500. By my calculations, by the time you fly out there, drive back, food,gas, hotels along the way its cheaper/safer/easier to ship.These cars are highway cruisers but god forbid you blow a tire on the way that noone stocks or you hit a cactus or armadillo in the middle of the night. Do a little research on shippers, you want to find one that already ships from NM to your state or nearby on a regular basis. Carmax has shippers they deal with all over the country, might want to check with a sales manager to put you in touch with their shipper. Good luck and hopefully youll be looking at this soon!!
