New (ok used) car question....what should I get Reply #15 – February 17, 2009, 12:45:02 PM Quote from: Ether947;257222You got the rest of your life to drive an old peoples car. :DI like my old people cars thank you very much. 4 doors are amazingly easier and its not like your buying a White or Stanley Steam car, parts are available and it is still a Ford so someone can work on it.Funny everyone says parts will be hard to find and everything considering the cars we own LOL:rollin: I say Marauder, semi sleeper appeal, roomy, comfort, oh and did I mention its not a Mustang? If you want a Mustang go Terminator.Which Marauders came blown? Quote Selected

New (ok used) car question....what should I get Reply #18 – February 17, 2009, 02:35:26 PM Marauder isn't going to be hard to find parts for. it doesn't use anything unique to it really. modding it would be expensive but again, your looking for a daily. i love them and id love to have one but id probably get the later mustang myself if it were between those 2 only. a terminator would be nice but it isn't listed as an option and they are still much more expensive than an 05 mustang gt or merc marauder is going to be.also consider resale. you can get a marauder cheap because nobody wants them but resale will suffer for the same reason.also, i would never, ever get an auto mustang but that's me. the "my gf has to drive it" excuse is weak. everybody should at least know how to drive a stick.

It goes. Quote Selected

New (ok used) car question....what should I get Reply #23 – February 17, 2009, 05:36:43 PM If you buy a Marauder you'll know you have a Marauder. Everyone else will think you've got a foot in the grave. Everyone calls them "sleepers" but sleepers are supposed to be fast. 300 horses in a 5000 pound car isn't fast, and no matter what Ford has done with the suspension it'll still handle like an old man's car. You could probably get a used 300C for the same money, and have a better looking, better equipped, more powerful car.I may be jaded. The Lincoln Town Car I owned was the most boring car I'd ever driven. Yeah, it only had the non-PI SOHC engine and probably weighed a quarter ton more than a Marauder, but still. I can't see myself in another Panther.That being said, I dunno if a used Mustang would be my first choice either. I never thought I'd say this, but you might consider looking at brand new cars. The manufacturers are pretty much giving them away right now. It's currently cheaper to buy a new car than it is to buy one a few years old. With a refreshed 'Stang coming for '10 you might get a bargain on an '09... Quote Selected
New (ok used) car question....what should I get Reply #24 – February 17, 2009, 06:02:00 PM 20 years too new for my blood. 300C sounds like a good idea. I plan on getting one (2005-present) in another 10 years when the price comes down to my $500 price range.But, flip a coin, you'll be happy with either one. Quote Selected

I can't see myself in another Panther. That's funny. Not dismissing the possibility, if you were indeed bored, that's cool. But I find just the opposite with my '87 Crown Vic. If it moved like my cougar did, I would be suffering almost ZERO having to drive it all winter, wouldnt miss the cougar nearly as much. I throw this thing around turns the cougar would be screaming and leaning on, and it does it like it's nothing. The RIDICULOUS power steering lets me palm the wheel everywhere, you can be soooo lazy. The brakes are AMAZING, and it is like driving on a living room couch. Love the seat and the ride, which surprises me given its handling!!! I'd like to see what it would drive like, again, if it had the same get up and go as the kitty. That would be interesting LOL. Quote Selected

New (ok used) car question....what should I get Reply #29 – February 17, 2009, 07:55:08 PM No factory Marauder came supercharged.Here's one website with Marauder upgrades.....FWIW, the stock Marauder torque converter is a nice upgrade for a 2V 4.6 Crown Vic or Mustang.....There's another company that makes an adapter kit to throw an Eaton M112 on a Marauder, but for the trouble i'd go with a Whipple or a Kenne Bell before a HEATON.I know of another around me twin turboed.....520 RWHP.....STOCK EXHAUST DOWN TO THE IRON MANIFOLDS!
