i know this is a truck sight but i need some help. im thinking about getting a 2004 crown vic or a mercury marauder. is there anything i should look out for? where there any problems with them?

 

IMO, they are very good cars. Just not my style. My grandmother had one, that my brother-in-law now owns, and I drove one for work for a while. There are also alot of cool accessories available for them (they are used as cop cars) check out galls.com, streckers.com, etc.

 

Crown Vic's are great cars. IMO

Friend of mine has one with well over 200k miles on it.

 

I'd love a 03/04 Marauder....







One thing I like about the Crown Vic is the fact that it is the only car I know of that is built like a truck.... they are some tough vehicles. They have one of the thickest frames available and such... sad to see they are getting rid of them.

 

You cant beat a rear wheel drive sedan.
Period

 

ya. and i think those marauders come with 500hp stock

 

Yes.
It's very easy to bang your head getting into the backseat, especially when your hands are cuffed behind you.

Happens to me every damn time.

 

302 HP, not 500, but that would have been damn nice.

i think im deff. going with the marauder. i found one with like 85,000 miles on it for $11k. that sound about right?

 

^ What year? Sounds a little steep to me, depending on condition and year.

 

its an '03. and its it perfect condition. white leather interior, http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...000&cardist=17

 

if i ever get a car and dotn drive a truck anymore i will get a marauder!! sat in one at carmax and loved it.

 

i just bought one! for a DD V8 with 26-28mpg! cant complain other than its to damn quiet




the chrome wheel trim is being removed!! dont worry. damn old people and their bling bling

 

Looking at it, that's not a bad price. Just make sure you do the normal used car buying things like giving it a good once over. Looks nice

 

will do. i actually saw one this morning on the way home from class. it was nice
