Vehicle Description
2003 Mercury Marauder Sedan. Only 25,393 Original Miles Since
New.
It's hard not to get excited about a short run of a full-size
performance machine that combines a historic name with a modern
fuel-injected V8. So dig into all the details on this loaded 2003
Mercury Marauder that has a mean full dark style. With a name like
Marauder you want it finished in black. This is the factory-correct
color, which is always desirable, but there's also much more there
that has your eye. Mercury knew how to give its sedan a full
midnight package makeover. This includes the blackout grille, black
background headlights, and a rear light package that was tinted as
dark as the law would allow. There are other speedy details, like
the special rear spoiler, smooth front bumper with integrated fog
lights, and large dual exhaust tips. Plus, those 18-inch alloys
stand out nicely in this dark package. The odometer reflects the
full actual mileage, and so this one has been rarely driven and
enjoyed...but driving it is your plan for this one, too. The
attraction is that you have a large modern classic sedan that
retains the crisp/clean style that really shows it remains in
charge. And while there will always be a comparison to this sedan's
historic rival, the Chevy Impala SS, the GM car absolutely can't
touch this one's rarity. Chevrolet sold more black 1996 Impala SS
sedans than Mercury made Marauders IN TOTAL over its two-year run.
So while we think the Chevys are a rare and valuable treat, this
muscle Mercury sedan has truly solidified its reputation for
rarity/collectability. The big imposing look is part of the
Marauder's appeal, and that also means you have a full-size
interior. This gives you a practical modern classic that can carry
the whole family. And the Dark Charcoal leather gives you a
luxurious feeling while also continuing the car's dark and
intimidating attitude. The Marauder was expensive when new, and so
it got all the best features. This includes power windows, power
locks, cruise control, dual airbags, and automatic A/C climate
control. There are some nice upgrades like deeply tinted windows
and an AM/FM/CD stereo. It's made to be an excellent driver with
power front seats, power-adjustable pedals, white-faced gauges, and
the center console with factory-installed AutoMeter Pro-Comp
readouts. The reason why the Marauder was able to be such a
powerful force is that it came about in the era of Ford's excellent
4.6-liter modular V8. This received the four-valve DOHC version,
which basically gave this the same fuel-injected power as the
contemporary 300+ hp Ford Mustang Mach 1. And while the
numbers-matching motor is great for collectability, this one is
also desirable for how it drives. The suspension was upgraded
utilizing components from Ford's Crown Vic police program,
including four-wheel disc brakes and sway bars front & rear. So
this one knows how to handle its size. But for those times when you
just want to cruise, features like the power steering and the
four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive make this a fine road
trip machine, too. This has the look, power, and rarity we all want
in an instant classic. So don't let this black Marauder slip away.
There is some marks on the top surface of the paint from possible
