But, maybe it's not the best time to be riding around in one of those down here.

If my BMW dies they are on the short list as a replacement. The engines you can drop in them are impressive.

A buddy of mine has one. Its pretty embarrassing to be around it. He swears "Its a fleet vehical" and "They are tough and meant to run a million miles with out wearing out"
My reply is always, "No. It is a fleet vehical that is beat to shit and put on auction when it hits 80k miles." They trade in for new ones and move on. |

Don't forget to equip it with black half-moon rims, a fake cop antenna, a cop push bar, and a cop searchlight, so everyone will respect your authority. Oh yeah, lower it for full douchebag effect.

I would drive one. Id love to find one of these in good shape but they only made them in 03-04 and just over 11000 were sold:
From Wikipedia: The Mercury Marauder was based on an updated version of the Ford Panther platform that was introduced for 2003. The Marauder had a naturally aspirated 4.6 L V8 DOHC Ford Modular engine producing 302 hp (225 kW) and 318 ft·lbf (431 N·m) of torque; this engine had many parts — including heads, cams, block and rotating assembly — in common with the 2003–2004 Mustang Mach 1 and the 2003–2005 Lincoln Aviator. The Marauder featured a dual exhaust system with MEGS tailpipe tips, with newly developed chassis and suspension modifications – such as moving the rear shocks outboard of the frame rails, which were later made available for the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis. The Marauder was fitted with the 4R70W 4-speed automatic in 2003 and received the upgraded 4R75W 4-speed automatic for 2004. Both years featured the aluminum drive shaft from the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. The limited slip differential with a 3.55 rear axle ratio was standard fitment on all Marauders. |

On my second police vic now. I drive 140mi a day during the week for work and I love the cars. They just keep going, very little maint needed. Brakes, tires, and oil.
Current beater is a Blue 2010 Michigan Patrol car. Right around 120,000mi now. I'll drive it till the wheels fall off unless some old ass hat totals this one like the last. |

Not mine, well what I had until about 2010, but really close.
It had the higher hp setup, true dual exhaust, trailer towing package, 3:55 gears, the wheels like above. It ran really well, fast for a big car, and with the 3:55 gears it had good acceleration and good mid range power for passing. Leather, with every option available too so it was really comfortable. This website saved me cash. The coming gas price increase hit fast, but there were people here that had info that saw it coming. I sold it for what I had in it, and bought a Dodge Neon that was few years old. Once the crisis was passing, I sold the Neon, came out good on it, and bought my ex wife's 2001 Mercury Cougar ZN. She actually gave me the car because she bought a brand new Eclipse GT or whatever Spyder. I felt like I should give her something so I bought her a set of pots and pans for $500. I burned dinner, twice, in her old pots and pans, so bad you couldn't brillo pad them out, well, you could, but I ruined them doing it. I decided to use them for steel shooting targets. She wasn't happy. I'd love to have another one in great shape, that old CV had tons of room in the trunk. I can barely get our guns in the trunk of the Mustang GT convertible , 1995, that I'm driving now. I love the old GT though, not my favorite body style, but I love that it has the old 5.0L in it, and it runs like it just came off the showroom floor with 165,000 on it. |
