Wish I had ñever sold currently looking to buy

I was looking for an off-lease Grand Marquis or Ford to hot rod. I bought a new Marauder after a test drive, it was what I wanting to do right out of the factory. I paid $24,500 on the spot at a dealer going out of business and anxious to sell. Fun to drive. Got lots of positive comments. At the time, tires in it's size were expensive and I wore them out quickly. That and high octane gas were the only downside. The kid's college tuitions necessitated a sale 4 years later. I immediately regretted it. Great reliability, comfort, and quick enough. It isn't quicker than an equivalent Mustang, but then it's much heavier.

Very rare car, big, comfortable, looks cool

Last of the old school, American muscle, body on frame, full size sedans to be made. Very rare car, but parts aren’t hard to find. Can be a real head turner with the reliability of a Crown Victoria.

Reliable and fun to drive

Fun Retro Classic American Performance Sedan. The car reminds me of a 60's Impala SS or Ford Galaxy 500 with a performance motor. It also is a practical everyday machine.

A great Buy!!!

This Car has the best of the best and is one of a Kind!!! Over$60,000.00 has been spent to achieve this level of comfort and performance. All work has been professionally done by Mo's Speed Shop and Performance Evolution. Ready to go 1/4 mile racing or coast to coast cruising.

Laid back but with a kick

She rides great! And has the legendary cobra terminator motor so she is fast. Top of the line interior (for an 04) loads of trunk space. And she's a panther body. Parts are everywhere and cheap (well made parts but the are numerous) I can't wait to spin up her miles!!

Always my Dream Car !!!

The Mercury Marauder has always been my dream car. Power, Handling, Comfort, Style. The Marauder has it all. I could not afford this car when it was new. I am now retired, and I made it a priority to find one and purchase it. I had to look 2000 miles away for it, But, I found it. !!!

My Dream Car !!!

Since the Mercury Marauder came out in 2003, I've always wanted one. I finally retired and I was able to afford one. This is the perfect combination of Performance and Luxury . I looked hard to find this car, But Cars.Com helped me find my dream car. Took 2 weeks to find a reputable Transport company to bring it from Wisconsin to California, But, I am truly 100% Happy !!!

Full-size American muscle

If you like the Crown Victoria or Mercury Grand Marquis of the past you should check out this car! There are clean examples for under 15k. Limited production full size muscle car that turns heads and runs strong once she gets rolling! Put a supercharger on to really have some fun!

Mercury Marauder - The One and only 4 door Cobra

If you're really fond of American muscle cars, but looking for something special and not too dated, then you have to pick one of three: Buick Grand National, Chevy Impala SS (one from 90s) or Mercury Marauder. Only these three will give you all flavor of American Muscle cars from 80s to 00s. I have the Marauder as a daily. It's huge, it's consuming gallons of premium gas, but that sound tho. It's not just another old man car. It's only one real car you can get for the money (less than $10k). It has a style, it has a soul. But also it could carry lots of stuff in a huge trunk or tow a trailer/boat. It can bring you from Manhattan to Miami in 20 hours with comfort. And it has enough power and torque to defeat any V6 powered modern car. And also, everyone will look at you while you driving it with the smile on your face.
