does anyone on here have any experience with mercury marauders? im looking at one as low cost alternative to my current daily. for 7gs. it has 99k on it. what are the problem areas and what should I look for. it looks to be stock as far as I know.

Holy fuck @ 7k for a hopped up crown vic.

4v problems.

[The King]

That's not a very low-cost alternative. That being said I do like the 4V engine, but it could potentially have the same driver-side cylinder head issues that some of the Mach 1's had.

[Damnittsteve]

It's had all of the timing set and chain replaced so its feasible the head valve tick service recall has been addressed

Those cars are far more than a hopped up crown Vic but I'm glad people like u think that because it keeps the prices down

I know damned well what it is. Still isn't worth 7 grand.

If the coolant crossover mod hasn't been done, at 99k the head tick is permanent.

EDIT: just so you know, Steve, $7k is dangerously close to Grand Marquis + Coyote money.

$6500 for a 98 M3 > $7000 for a grandpa car

If I had a garage and wanted a race car I'd do ANOTHER fox with 5k in mods

They were built in Canada, genius. You're batting 1000 today.

Oh great wise one, care to clue me in as to why the E36 M3 is a piece of shit?

[Damnittsteve]

Designed in America and aren't you a 2 timed faggot car owner anyway . Why people love those German money pits is beyond me
