Saw an ad today, showed a 300C, and said "up to $4,000 cash back"
Now when Mercury started offering such discount on the Marauder, certain people yelled, "see it's dead, it's the only way they can sell it, it's a flop they're discounting it"
Why don't I hear them yelling about this with the 300C?

FYI, not a troll, just stating facts, research, research, research...... There have been a few, regular cabs with 16 inch rims, but they DO run that. A number of 2WD quad cabs have hit low 15s, and 2500s are hitting high 15s (visit www.dodgetrucks.org please before you try to down another vehicle). I like the Raider, but a Hemi Ram will run with one..... A hemi 300 will kill one, stock to stock of course, the game is over when you start modding.
heck, why not LO. Please don't think i have anything against the Marauder LOL, but with C&D, AND MT, anbd Road and track all getting high 13s/very low 14s at over 100 miles an hour from the 300 hemi C, that IS something to take to heart and i meant Rauder, as in marauder. hell, i drive a freaking Chevy so i can't be too biased between a Mercury and a Chrysler LOL....... Anyways, I am out, not here to argue, just post in fun. Believe me, i wouldn't post at all if i didn't think the Marauder was a worthy performance vehicle.

Or maybe I need to lay off the bottle for a while?!?!
All I know is, the Marauder would never be mistaken for another car. It truely is one of a kind.:rock:

Automotive bias and prejudice IMHO. It's amazing how different cars get treated differently by the same people. I havn't seen any of those ads, and I certainly hope that the new 300 isn't having sales trouble. While I flat out don't like it, we need cars like that to keep the RWD trend alive.
Out of curiosity, has anyone installed a 5 point harness into their Marauder? I don't think I could fit in one, but that is something to think about eventually. So Todd, are you implying that you may be getting a 10 second Marauder?
I havn't polished or treated these leather seats at all, but they are just so slippery. Not having hardly any lateral support makes it worse......
i like the marauder, but i can think of at least 2 cars it looks a lot alike IMHO, you have to be the only one who thinks the 300 looks like that ..... thing, looks more like they were targeting the Jaguar look..... have you seen a 300 in person?" there is NO car that looks like it........

IMHO, the new 300's look more like a Kia Armanti than anything else, although it does also look like a trimmed down Maybach. When I first posted, I said that the 300C is absolutely hideous. I finally got a chance to see one in person, and it's not that bad. The rear is a bit wierd though.............

No, he's not the only one who thinks the 300 looks similar to that. (But Kia doesn't do much original anyway)Stew said:i like the marauder, but i can think of at least 2 cars it looks a lot alike

You're right about the Marauder, who's basic styling first appeared in 1998. Since that time many auto manufacturers have picked up on styling elements from it and used them. On the latest new offerings too. Some styling is just ahead, and timeless.
For someone who professes to not be a TROLL, you aren't succeeding in not appearing to be one.

I drove the 2005 Chrysler 300C "Hemi" Saturday. I think it's awesome. The one I drove had just been delivered the day before & was loaded to the gills!! It really pulls when you step on it. My LX Sport can't hold a candle to it. To be quite honest, I think it can whip a stock Marauder's ass & I've driven both a 2003 & a 2004 (by far the better of the two). I'll be looking to get a 2006 model "all-wheel drive" (assuming they put that on the Hemi model) with all the options (of course).
I'm sorry to say that I opted out of the '04 DTR I was going to get because someone I abhor in these "panther" forums got the very same model I had ordered (he's the type of guy that starts namecalling once his peanut brain believes that someone is "copycatting" him - I know that my reasons may seem somewhat shallow, but I just won't allow myself to be placed in a "situation" & then have to deal with his sorry ass. I had to ask another forum to terminate my account because of him - just so I wouldn't be tempted to get into any further scuffles with him).
I don't yet know if I'll be keeping my '02 Sport as my daily driver or not, but either way, even if I have to let momma have the 300C, it'll be in my driveway just as soon as possible (I never buy a first year model - they'll need to work out all those little "bugs" they'll undoubtedly find). For those who don't believe it can run "balls to the wall", go test drive it yourself - you won't be disappointed.

If it weren't for my horse...
I did (drive it) and I was (disappointed).
Then the sales guy drove mine, and was more impressed with the comfort, ride, sound, and appearance of the MM.
We drove them back to back in the same exact situations. I can't compare it to stock, but I know my stage I ride would take the 300C, and for less money and my car has far more attitude.

Why would any of the above cause you not to buy a car you like?
On a much sadder note, you do realize the poor trade-in value an older LX Sport has on a new Marauder? Trade-in on a 2002 would be about $12,000 to $13,000 at best. Have to love the depreciation on Fords, Lincolns and Mercurys!
