Found this on Craigslist. This is not my car but since it had such low miles I thought someone might want it. Too bad we are not all this optimistic!

This car was very recently inherited by my niece who lives in NY. The car had 1500 miles on it when she took possession in WV and then driving it to Charlotte added another 261 miles. She will be leaving to go back to NY on March 12 and would like to sell the car while she's here.
There were only a little over 11,000 of these made so they've become pretty popular. After extensive research I really doubt you would find one like this. If you like these cars and are in the market for one, you owe it to yourself to see this car. It actually was driven by a man in his 70's - remembering the past on the way to church and doctor's appointments.
1761 actual miles and it still has that leather scent.

Super nice car, but a little pricey.

Put it properly into storage and it could be a museum piece down the line.

Museum piece??? That old man better take trip down memory lane and feel his need for speed...:lol: See if he can get it up to 45MPH!:burnout:
 
If I recall correctly way back when they were still in production Logan had a deal with a dealer in Texas(?) that would sell them to us for around $29000 + taxes,etc. brand new. Some of the other long timers on the site please correct me if I'm wrong.In 2004 almost no one paid sticker for a MM and a few were still available brand new on dealers lots into 2006.
If I were truly in the market for a super clean low miles original MM I'd try working a deal for the that sweet Blue that was up for sale.
 
I doubt anyone really paid 23K or 24K brand new. I paid 29K out the door taxes and all and I thought I stole it. (Maybe not)
 
Yeah...I paid about $30K for mine w/ a dealer incentive and discount through my company...and I'd ordered it brand new in Jan. of '04, got the moon roof and 6-disc changer options. Took delivery in March (might have ordered it in Dec...thought it was Jan though). That was brand new, ordered from the factory, delivered straight to the dealer less than 10 minutes from home. ;)

Lets not forget also...that these cars were a bit overpriced from the factory..paying sticker price was not something I was going to do. It was a really hard decision for me at the time...the Cobra Mustang out at the time was just awesome also (last year of the old body, but 400/400 hp/tq supercharged for LESS than the Marauder....'twas beautiful). In the end though...I'd really liked the Marauder, thought it was totally awesome...figured we could actually cart other people if need be too...and the wife and I were contemplating children at the time...so we could cart kids if necessary too...plus, the decision to pull the trigger on that came after me contemplating a used BMW 5-series too....the wife was all about just getting something new w/ a warranty ...and I'd always liked the Marauder...start tossing discounts on it, and it became reasonable (although to this day...I think that '04 Cobra would've been a fun car to have....although I've had some fun in the Marauder too).

northpark lincoln mercury had about 30 marauders at the end of 2004. they sold for about 24-25k.

i got one and i know a few others on here did as well.
 
It's not completely outrageous, but it's practically brand new price for a car that is only practically brand new. You wouldn't be able to sell it for that price after driving it off the lot initially. ...and until the majority of ours are fetching "rare" car prices...that's probably a few grand too high. I'd give 25 for it though....if I needed one.
