I guess it all depends on what your expectations were going into it.
Did you get it up on the highway? Even a stock Marauder has enough oomph over a stock civvy 2V car if you give it the beans over 50mph.
Is This a Reasonable Price?

... And I wish they wouldn't. In the collector's world, they aren't.
My new favorite show is on the Velocity Channel. It's called "What's My Car Worth" -- and they often talk about the rarity of vehicles. It's quite an education to learn that low production does not necessarily mean rare.

Nope, couldn't get to a highway, I know that's where it would have shined. I honestly don't care about the performance, that can always be improved.

Yeah there where white spots associated with clear coat failure all over the roof and some other spots. It even had s spot on the fender around the trim you could see the clear coming off.
It's not a $15k car, but I didn't even get into price so I don't know what they would take.

If you don't care about the performance, what do you care about? Especially if you'll be upside down on the Marauder... Keep your Grand Marquis.

I think he cares about the performance as he knows it can be modified.
IMHO there are plenty of excellent boosted Marauders with 80 to 120,000 miles on them for a lot less money with plenty of life left in them.
If you boost the Marauder and drive it a lot for yourself good investment, if you boost and want to sell it, bad investment but great deal for the buyer.

I am upside down on the Grand Marquis, but I also have the money to pay it off right now if I wanted to. I'm not going to do that because I like having extra money in case of emergency, plus I have a few other things going on.
That being said, my down payment on a Marauder would be the amount I'm upside down, plus $1000. About $6,000 If I got proper trade in value. That was the plan, wasn't going to work at that dealer.
Anyways, the GMQ is for sale locally and I am continuing to explore my options.
as for performance. I want a Marauder because I love them, not because they are fast...because they aren't until you mod.
