2003 Mercury Marauder

This 2003 Mercury Marauder is a Canadian-market example that was recently acquired by the selling dealer from its reported original owner. The car is finished in black over Dark Charcoal leather and powered by a 4.6-liter V8 mated with a four-speed automatic transmission. Additional factory equipment includes model-specific exterior details, a limited-slip differential, upgraded suspension and brakes, and 18” wheels as well an exterior keyless lock pad, automatic climate control, an AM/FM/CD stereo, power-adjustable front seats, and power-adjustable pedals. This Marauder shows 238 kilometers (~147 miles) and is offered at no reserve in Canada with factory literature, a window sticker, a certificate of authenticity, a New Vehicle Information Statement, an accident-free Carfax report, and a British Columbia registration document. Built on Ford’s Panther platform in Saint Thomas, Ontario, Canada, this Marauder is one of 7,093 finished in black for the 2003 model year. Features include unique front and rear bumper covers, integrated front fog lights, headlights with black housings, and dual chrome exhaust outlets. Polished 18” five-spoke wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS tires, and a space-saver spare is stored in the trunk. Braking is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and the Marauder came standard with stiffer front suspension bushings and springs, a thicker front anti-roll bar, Tokico monotube shocks, and self-leveling rear air suspension. The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in Dark Charcoal leather with embossed Mercury logos along with coordinated treatments for the dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Accessories include an AM/FM/CD stereo, power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, an exterior lock pad, and cruise control. Protective plastic covers the climate control display, front seats, and footwells. White-dial instrumentation is fronted by a multi-function steering wheel and consists of a 220-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and a combination gauge for coolant temperature and fuel level. Auxiliary AutoMeter gauges for oil pressure and voltage are positioned in the center console. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 238 kilometers (~147 miles). The 32-valve 4.6-liter DOHC V8 was factory rated at 302 horsepower and 318 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a 3.55:1 limited-slip differential. Several photos are provided in the gallery depicting the underside, drivetrain, and exhaust components. Manufacturer’s literature, a sales invoice, a certificate of authenticity, and a window sticker showing a total price of $48,305 are included in the sale. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists a manufacturer safety recall related to the headlights.
