Gorgeous RARE (1 of about 270 as optioned,maybe less) dark torador red with Flint interior,04 marauder.Low original miles.According to autocheck when this car was sold after original lease ended at 27k miles,it was anounced at auction as frame/unibody damage simply due to rust blisters in rear drivers door frame.This ridiculous claim is on its autocheck report only,and as a result substantially reduced its value from easily 10k and up.No accident history.This is NOT reported on its much more detailed carfax report.The cars frame and undercarriage is perfect,never damaged.Its floors etc. are perfect not even discolored.Being a suburb of Michigan car from new till around 2012,has it showing some rust in its flat thin sheetmetal bottom section of rockers(very hard to see even if youre under the car,and mostly surface)Easy simple fix if you choose.Small rust blister in paint only on rear lower section of front fender.Only noticed when pointed out. Correct size front and rear tires are like new,mobil 1 oil and Correct no drain back Ford filter.Just filled tank with 93 sunoco.I have 2 factory remotes with 2 factory keys...second key needs to be cut and programmed.I can easily tell both bumper covers were repainted in its life...not a great repaint and show wear and age,but they are OK...id repaint them if I was keeping her.I recently bought this car cause Ive always wanted one,and drove it home 100 miles. It was an absolute pleasure and one of the nicest riding /driving cars Ive ever driven....and ive driven LOTS of cars.I want a newer diesel ram,and found the one I want,so im selling 2 of my cars.This is the ONLY reason I will let this go right now,so soon and especially so cheaply. Its only deviation from all stock,is an aftermarket Kenwood sound system,that must have been extremely expensive...appears well done and fairly hidden...2 tweeters were added to its windshield base,and it has a dual subwoofer enclosure in the trunk... Carfax also shows this car was routinely serviced many many times at Metropolitan Lincoln Mercury,the dealership that sold it new in Michigan. There is no spare or jack with this car and I dont know why....BUY IT NOW ONLY will get 4 winterforce snow tires on aluminum sport rims that were sized (staggared)just for the marauders.....so theres 4 spares for ya.....buy it now only tho. There is a faint smoke odor in the car when all doors and windows are buttoned up...previous owner as well as myself are absolutely NON smokers...there are zero signs of this car ever being smoked in,such as yellowing or burn holes...so I cant be 100% sure its origin..Ive febreezed the rug and headliner and its good for some time...then when in the garage all buttoned up again..i can smell it.If i had more time id ionizer machine it...they can be rented cheaply and get rid of any odor completely and permanently...used them before .... Not only is this a rare gorgeous color combo,but has the nice heated seats option as well as factory ordered sunroof option.(2nd H in vin is code for original order sunroof install)All works.If you want a perfect one, theyre asking 12-25k....This ive priced to sell before winter and if you know what you are looking at youll know this is an absolute steal.Please dont waste my time with nonsense.Please read this listing thouroughly.If you need to kick its tires and nitpick,please buy a Marauder thats 20 grand somewhere else,this is not that car.Car is sold as is,deposit is due right at listing close,and is non refundable.Clear clean Delaware title.Again,Im selling this and another classic of mine to buy a diesel Ram. I am an honest guy who loves all types of cars and trucks...Ill tell you all I know both good and bad...anything can happen to any machine at anytime,I know that when I buy and also when I sell...that said...this is a real nice car.Thank you.
