The car is perfect. That bullet proof engine will go anywhere. I had a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria Police interceptor that went over 222,000 miles with no problem. Went down to NC back to Va every other week. Never left me stranded.
I been looking for a marauder, the research says the price has been spiking one in pristine condition can go between 25 and 35 thousand most I seen on carguru are in the 15000 range, so I think you got a hell of a deal!! Congratulations from Tulsa!
Hey, very nice addition to the family Randy. I too am in a bad point in my life and as other channel member have said, it's awesome to see you as happy as you are. This channel is keeping me uplifted and I too plan to go that much further on my project Town Car.. Thanks for all you do.
Glad everyone seems to think it was a good deal. I paid 8000 for mine. But in Canadian dollars so about the same. Mine was pretty perfect until my son scuffed up the front bumper. I took it to a Maaco and it looks like new again. These cars are keepers
Oh, no doubt. Every taxi in Atlantic City was a big Ford with a half million miles. Oh, and thanks for the great content! Your 'realness' makes for great videos that I look forward to. Much more relatable than kids in L.A. with leased Ferraris. Well done! BTW, it will take more than a quick blow over to fix that paint. When you've got cracking like that (I had it on my Jaguar, same era) that's got to go down to BARE METAL.
you need to finish that house on 1 acre and and I have my doubts about that one too as its too far away for you to run a wholesale dealership unless the smart plan would be move into the place hey Randy just my older man's thoughts is all . I do enjoy the enthusiasm
Best to you all coming home. REMEMBER: The ONLY thing between you and the road are your TIRES. Check the tread, air, cracking, spare and do well. Thank you. Sonny (CT)
I almost bought one of those Marauder's when they first came out, not sure now why I did not. Plus I live in Florida so I know how nice it is here. Good luck on the dealership and I believe the car should have no problems. Good deal on the car.
I almost bought one too, back in 2005. It was a new left over '03 that the dealer had for 18 months. In the end, my insurance was going to double since my son had just gotten his license, so I passed.
I came very close to buying one as well. I am glad I didn’t die to the massive depreciation that hit them, but I have strongly considered picking one up in recent years. It’s just had to find a unmolested, serviceable, one for the right price, these days.
Thats a good deal. Keep it. I also have an 04 Black Marauder, which I've been driving since 2005. Now have 161,000 .I get compliments all the time on it., even from women. Awesome car.
I am confident that it will make it! I wish I had a full size car! To have a frame, v8, rwd is NICE! SO Much Better then a rusty 03 focus!! Great video & content like always! Happy Valentine's day!
I'm a Mercury and Crown Vic guy been driving them for my most of my life I'll say you will make it home with no problem with the miles that you have and it looking like it was a everyday Cruiser I think you did well for what you paid I believe at this point you certainly ain't going to lose on it we will get your money back the way it sits thanks for the video I'll be looking for your update safe travels brother
We always enjoy watching your videos and for the reason of the fact that you are always telling us Thank You for our subscribing, our comments and even if we are being trolls, still you thank us, for that is what gives you the money you get from TH-cam. Always great informational videos about cars that everyone can learn something from. I don't think you hurt yourself buying this car, but then again, I too am not an expert. Good Luck on your trip home. Be safe and Enjoy the Ride!!!!
I loved my marauder when i had it. Those numbers in the trunk bars on the drivers side are the codes to the keyless entry system. Enjoy that black beauty. Mine was bkack on black
I've always wanted the last version of the Mercury Marauder. The first thing, if you're going to keep it and if I remember correctly. Replace the fake oil pressure gauge. It's basically a light that looks like a gauge. It goes to the same reading no matter what the engine speed is.
The Marauder looks pretty nice. Knowing there are not many left it is worth keeping and a good paint job. Nice find any Marauder is hard to find now. Keep up the great content.
Here’s an interesting story for you, Randy. The Florida Highway Patrol actually owned a fleet of a Marauders back when they were new. Some anonymous wealthy person donated quite a few of them to the FHP, they were kept very stealth with the lights hidden inside the car. I remember seeing one of the red ones and I believe a silver one in my area frequently back then. Here’s an article about them: www.flhsmv.gov/florida-highway-patrol/about-fhp/history/photostorygallery/pg2004/fhp-unveils-latest-stealth-vehicle/ I thought you might find this interesting since you also own a regular P71 Crown Vic. Even though better known for it, the P71s weren’t the only Panthers on patrol duty. I hope you enjoy your new Marauder. It’s absolutely beautiful and I am so happy for you that you were able to get it! I ‘d love to see you try to get your hands on a silver and red one to complete the set. That would be very, very cool. If you could get one of the decommissioned X-FHP ones, that would be even cooler!
FHP has had some sweet cars. The Foxbody mustangs and the Camaros were always my favorites. I believe Seminole County had a couple of newer Mustangs with Coyote motors. So cool.
Had a 2004 Maurader the black paint went bad while under warranty. Ford repainted hood, roof and trunk. Dealers don’t always know how to do things. I wanted the tires rotated. They put the rears on front and fronts on rear...I noticed it right away and made them do it correctly (side to side because rears are taller than fronts). Almost came to blows with the tire guy. I retired soon after that and traded it for an HHR. Had the HHR for 15 years...just gave it to a guy in need yesterday.
I couldn’t believe what I saw at 1:05 That’s pretty much the same exact Ford Explorer that I drive to school! Same color, Eddie Bauer edition. Mine has the 5.0 V8 in it, hard to tell if the one from the video does or not, but it’s gotta be anywhere from a 1999-2001 model. Mine’s a 2000. Sorry for the rant I just got excited when I saw it because I pretty much drive the same truck. Anyways, I think the Marauder is awesome! Can’t wait for more content! Even if it has paint issues, it’s better than rust.
I bought my 2005 Nissan Sentra with 217k miles on Iowa and drove it all the way down to Miami Florida and the only issue it had was holes on the fuel line do to rust, I did repair it as I show on one of my TH-cam videos, good luck on your trip.
Thanks for the awesome content. I think you made a great deal on the car. Glad your having a good time in Florida. I think you will be fine making it back home. That car is totally awesome man and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for it. Good luck with everything.
Think you got a good deal. Have you considered asking Weird Beard to put on a quality paint job? Those crows feet on the hood and roof I would suggest going down to bare metal rather than just a 600 grit sand and sealer . I see it had an overheating problem. Check the thermostat make sure it isn’t stuck and possibly the water pump. Hopefully you shut it down pretty quickly and it didn’t run hot for too long !
Lived there in Florida but got tired of the humidity, mosquitos, storms, fire ants, snakes coming in on cool nights into your house or getting into the engine bay where its warm.nice place ro visit. On the scuffed up on your trunk lid I believe the Marauder Emblem was there.
You did OK on the price, considering that it came from a private seller. There's tricks you can use to raise the MPG without losing performance. Improved exhaust, cold air kit, and remapping the ECU should improve that all the way around. If it were mine, I'd also tighten up the handling and steering by swapping for nylon bushings, and some fresh shocks. I'd also de-chrome it, but that's just because I prefer that low profile style. Ya done good, dude. Keep 'em coming.
So happy you were able to enjoy some of Florida. Come back when you can stay longer. Be safe and travel well. I think there will be no issues for you. God Bless.
A running, driving, dealer serviced Marauder with only some paint and leather issues for under $10k.. I am gonna go with that that is a good buy. These seem to be coming back up a bit lately and honestly, it’s the coolest thing Ford built in that era, imo. Well bought... as long as there isn’t something hiding underneath that you are unaware of.
Yeah it’s gonna make it back to ur home no issues maybe a tire lol. And 6700 is more than I would spend but these cars are getting hard to find so what does it matter. U got the perfect 4 randy congratulations so happy to see how far this channel has come since 2000 subscribers
Yes it will easily make it home and achieve 24mpg or better doing it...for 100K miles and paint issues you paid the going rate more or less.......enjoy the ride!
Nice vid, Randy, and nice Marauder! Also, thanks for reminding me of what I too often take for granted while living in Florida. Safe travels and, yes, it'll make it back with no issues. :)
I think you did fine on the price of the car. I see no issues with it. Also you should actually just keep it and drive it forever..sell the others like you do. But keep one to just drive. Love the channel watch it all the time.
This is basically the sport's version of the grand marquis. I can tell you this much my parents had 2 of them which both Used to belong to my grandmother. They were a 1996 and a 2000 model years. As long as you take good care of these keep the oil changed keep the fluids top job they will last you at least 250,000 miles or more. And yes it will definitely make it to Oklahoma from Florida easily have a safe trip
Randy what goes round comes round and when you have some shit in your life well keep on keeping on and the good times follow. You prove the fact that if you never give up you can win out. Much respect from across The Pond. Yes we are just over that horizon you were looking at from that Florida Beach! And quit sending us all those storms man!
I have no idea about car prices in the USA as I live in the UK but it looks a stunning car and sounds lovely....if I had to bet I’d say it will make it no issues 👍🏻....another great video and so nice to see your ‘average joe’ start to make it 😁...glad to be part of the AAR family from across the pond 👍🏻😁😀🇺🇸🇬🇧
I'm a GM Lifer guy, but that's one ferd/Merc that I'd own I had a buddy that had a Marauder and I dug it. You'll enjoy that Car they truly don't make em like that anymore sadly.
I love the content but I think you should stick around Florida for a couple of days at least and make some Florida videos. Go to a Florida junkyard and let us know if they are better than the rust bucket yards of the Northeast. Visit a Copart down there and do a little juxtaposing on that one versus the one you go to in Oklahoma. Take your women to a hot Cuban night spot in Miami. I for one feel that you could do content that isn't necessarily all about cars. Randy goes to India would be great content. . . especially if you were rebuilding a Tata and went to India junkyards. There's no end to the possibilities when you have a personality that is fun to watch. Did you pay too much for the Mercury? Who cares!!! Any time you go on a road trip is fun for us. Great stuff as always.
Good morning afternoon ! I think your Marauder will make the trip back here just fine. You never know something might give up the goast on the way back but I dont think it would be anything mayger if it dose I do think you gave a littel much for it but if I had the money and found a car I realy wanted I,d buy it ware others probely woudnt ! Any way good luck and have a nice safe trip back to OK. Have Fun and Injoy !
Randy, enjoy Florida while your able. Sumadhi & I live on the west coast of Florida in the redington beach area. We love it here. Take care & safe travels.
Happy Birthday, Randy ! You're my TV day and night - I prefere your channel than every other. Nice present for you is this car, kind of unique. The price might be average for this modification, but for the model seems to be high. 67 extra plus horsepowers for 67 hundred dollars ? I dont know. But the most important thing is to ENJOY yourself.
According to Edmunds the dealer retail on the car is $4370. The only thing the Pontiac needs is something like a long block. The dealer retail for the Pontiac is $1000 on Edmunds.
Great car for the money and a really fair price. I think there is still a lot of money left when your finished with it. As for living in Florida, my personal experience was that it's a fantastic place to visit but you wouldn't want to live there. We did and couldn't wait to get out.
She will make it home just fine, just check the levels & tyre pressures, fill up her with correct grade fuel, set the cruise control, sit back & steer her, armchair comfort all the way home ! ( No falling asleep with the comfy drivers seat !!)
Congrats on the new Marauder, Randy. You really look good in that car. I really hope you decide to keep it. I’m glad you’re enjoying Florida. I live in the Tampa area myself but I absolutely love the east coast. If you get a chance, there are some beautiful lighthouses over there that you can actually climb to the top of and that’s a lot of fun. Ponce Inlet and St Augustine lights are probably on the way back for you. Also, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is another very cool place to visit over there as is the city of St Augustine. PLEASE don’t take the Marauder to Maaco for paint. Granted, they do a decent job but this car is special and I’d say it’s going to be extremely collectible if it isn’t already. This car deserves a Weird Beard paint job. The car is far too nice and far too special to let Maaco do the paint job on it. In my opinion, if you spend a little more paying Mike to do the job right with a great quality paint, the car will end up being way more valuable. By the way, in case you’re interested, there are actually two 2003 Marauders at Copart right now. They’re not nearly as nice as yours but might make for a fun project and great content. www.copart.com/lot/47087229 www.copart.com/lot/25826760
Would love to see it back to its prime days. Hold on to it for a minute.. It’s a fair price. It’s a true survivor and can be more beastly with some pipes. 👍👍
The downs and ups of a week in Randy's life. Pontiac not so good - Marauder, brilliant. Thanks for sharing it with us, Randy. Keep 'em coming.
The car is perfect. That bullet proof engine will go anywhere. I had a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria Police interceptor that went over 222,000 miles with no problem. Went down to NC back to Va every other week. Never left me stranded.

You got a hell of a deal 5000 dollars less they are going for 11 thousand
Looks like a pretty good deal for $6,700 especially the no rust Florida car part 👌🏻
you need to finish that house on 1 acre and and I have my doubts about that one too as its too far away for you to run a wholesale dealership unless the smart plan would be move into the place hey Randy just my older man's thoughts is all . I do enjoy the enthusiasm
Best to you all coming home. REMEMBER: The ONLY thing between you and the road are your TIRES. Check the tread, air, cracking, spare and do well. Thank you. Sonny (CT)
Nothing was checked!
Same route I took(95N) when I brought my Silver 04 in Gainsville,Fl back in 2014. I was Smiling all the back to Savannah, Ga
I have a 2001 Ford Crown Vic. I had it repainted at Maaco and it turned out real good. The Crown Vic's were notorious for paint peeling problems.
I almost bought one of those Marauder's when they first came out, not sure now why I did not. Plus I live in Florida so I know how nice it is here. Good luck on the dealership and I believe the car should have no problems. Good deal on the car.

Curtis Fleabag I agree but I couldn’t imagine what it would have looked like as a 2 door
@Curtis Fleabag I guess that is why I have Challenger RT/Scat Pack now.
I bought a Mach1instead of the Marauder. I've had far more fun with it than I could have with the Marauder.
Where is the Marauder jacket? The seller keep it? Need one now that you are an owner. They came with every new Marauder purchase.
Have a safe trip Randy. Remember, we share your success through your videos. Keep pushing.....
Thats a good deal. Keep it. I also have an 04 Black Marauder, which I've been driving since 2005. Now have 161,000 .I get compliments all the time on it., even from women. Awesome car.
We watch your videos but you put in the work. This is what success looks like. That is an awesome car and it's worth the money.
I am confident that it will make it! I wish I had a full size car! To have a frame, v8, rwd is NICE! SO Much Better then a rusty 03 focus!! Great video & content like always! Happy Valentine's day!

CHP also had Camaros and Mustangs. I think where I live Nevada Highway Patrol has a Mustang running around
Dennis Reinhardt tuned the Florida Marauders
It will make it just fine. Only problem that might happen is a dry rotted hose or something dumb like that. Have fun on the trip!!!
Had a 2004 Maurader the black paint went bad while under warranty. Ford repainted hood, roof and trunk. Dealers don’t always know how to do things. I wanted the tires rotated.

I think it will make it home no problem. I think the price was good too considering what others are asking plus the mileage & service history.
I live in Oregon. There is a 2003 in Corvallis Craigslist for $7500 obo with 105,000 miles. Body and paint look good. I would say you got a good buy.
No problem driving it home Randy, enjoy the trip.
I remember ur early videos yrs ago n u came long way.. Keep up good work..
Yes i do think you'll make it home.also the car goes for around twenty thousand with good paint!
It's going to make it Randy.
Good price for that. I'd imagine now that you'd have trouble adjusting between the different gauge clusters in your panthers when you get back.
Nice randy those really sound good just replacing the humongous factory mufflers with a set of flowmaster
Matt Isaac Borla even sounds better guaranteed for life.
Yes it will easily make it home and achieve 24mpg or better doing it...for 100K miles and paint issues you paid the going rate more or less.......enjoy the ride!
Nice vid, Randy, and nice Marauder! Also, thanks for reminding me of what I too often take for granted while living in Florida.
Safe travels and, yes, it'll make it back with no issues. :)
She should make back with 0 Problems. The price is on point. CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase. And enjoy Florida.
Island life is good according to my brother in law he lives on Merritt Island cant wait to get back down to Florida myself next year
Great content Randy. Your Chanel
Is the only one where I watch all the ads.. keep it up!
I think you did fine on the price of the car. I see no issues with it. Also you should actually just keep it and drive it forever..sell the others like you do. But keep one to just drive. Love the channel watch it all the time.
I daily drive a Mercury Montego. It's a beast on traffic. Smooth and powerful.
This is basically the sport's version of the grand marquis. I can tell you this much my parents had 2 of them which both Used to belong to my grandmother. They were a 1996 and a 2000 model years. As long as you take good care of these keep the oil changed keep the fluids top job they will last you at least 250,000 miles or more. And yes it will definitely make it to Oklahoma from Florida easily have a safe trip
Always like thoseMauraders. Growing up one of our neighbours had a1969/70 red Marauder with black deck lid.
It was a fair price. Great condition and rare so worth it, not a lot of flip room though unless someone is a collector or HAS to have it
Not bad for a marauder. Love to see them all together. Maaco paint will be great together with some mods.
Good luck on the trip.I think it will make it.
It’s great to see you doing well, Randy. Long may it continue! Thank you for all the videos :)
You should move down there because the coparts down there have some awesome cars
thanks bro for bringing us great content , you never lets us down , enjoy your trip , cant wait to hear the news about the dealership
i think ,its going to get you home,no trouble. john
I am happy for you Randy, you have taken nothing, hustled hard, stayed at it and turned it into something, a good life for you and yours.
welcome to the sunshine state and my home town buddy , Joey from miami
Welcome to Florida we hope you liked your short stay come back and visit sometime
Randy what goes round comes round and when you have some shit in your life well keep on keeping on and the good times follow. You prove the fact that if you never give up you can win out.
Much respect from across The Pond. Yes we are just over that horizon you were looking at from that Florida Beach! And quit sending us all those storms man!

The Car Has Been Baking In Florida Sun Its Hole Life , Paints Going To Check And Or Fade / Peel , Still Very Nice Ride
Good looking car. Prayers for a safe trip home with your family.
Nice Randy, she’s going to make it no problems. Love a good cruiser car.
Enjoy Randy, great trip, beautiful country.
I know how excited you get about certain cars. I hope the Marauder makes it back to Oklahoma without any issues like the Pontiac.
Good morning afternoon ! I think your Marauder will make the trip back here just fine. You never know something might give up the goast on the way back but I dont think it would be anything mayger if it dose I do think you gave a littel much for it but if I had the money and found a car I realy wanted I,d buy it ware others probely woudnt ! Any way good luck and have a nice safe trip back to OK. Have Fun and Injoy !
Nice ride! Hav fun at the beach !!
Randy, enjoy Florida while your able. Sumadhi & I live on the west coast of Florida in the redington beach area. We love it here. Take care & safe travels.
Happy Birthday, Randy ! You're my TV day and night - I prefere your channel than every other. Nice present for you is this car, kind of unique. The price might be average for this modification, but for the model seems to be high. 67 extra plus horsepowers for 67 hundred dollars ? I dont know.

Yes she’ll make it fingers crossed lol! You got a good deal like you said just the paint which can be fixed! And coco beach is beautiful!!
According to Edmunds the dealer retail on the car is $4370. The only thing the Pontiac needs is something like a long block. The dealer retail for the Pontiac is $1000 on Edmunds.
Great car for the money and a really fair price. I think there is still a lot of money left when your finished with it. As for living in Florida, my personal experience was that it's a fantastic place to visit but you wouldn't want to live there. We did and couldn't wait to get out.
Always loved these cars, looks great. Black always looks good,love it....
She will make it home just fine, just check the levels & tyre pressures, fill up her with correct grade fuel, set the cruise control, sit back & steer her, armchair comfort all the way home ! ( No falling asleep with the comfy drivers seat !!)
It should make it home. It was well taken care
Welcome to Florida, I hope you enjoy your stay...
It will make it back no problems 👍👍 good deal Randy it Alex from Hartford CT
Nice to see you down in my neck of the woods (almost)! Not sure exactly where you got the car from, but I'm guessing somewhere on the Treasure Coast.
This car will bring you home . Its. a strong car .
Ebay usually have black leather seats for it $400 shipped 9/10 which is where I got mines from for my Grand Marquis
Congrats on the new Marauder, Randy. You really look good in that car. I really hope you decide to keep it.
I’m glad you’re enjoying Florida. I live in the Tampa area myself but I absolutely love the east coast. If you get a chance, there are some beautiful lighthouses over there that you can actually climb to the top of and that’s a lot of fun. Ponce Inlet and St Augustine lights are probably on the way back for you. Also, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is another very cool place to visit over there as is the city of St Augustine.
PLEASE don’t take the Marauder to Maaco for paint. Granted, they do a decent job but this car is special and I’d say it’s going to be extremely collectible if it isn’t already. This car deserves a Weird Beard paint job. The car is far too nice and far too special to let Maaco do the paint job on it. In my opinion, if you spend a little more paying Mike to do the job right with a great quality paint, the car will end up being way more valuable.
By the way, in case you’re interested, there are actually two 2003 Marauders at Copart right now. They’re not nearly as nice as yours but might make for a fun project and great content.

Love your videos.
Randy you have to keep her that car reflected you 100 %
Yes it will make it. Yes it's a good deal I think.
Hey man I work in Cocoa Florida and Live in Palm Bay. I was so excited to see you in my backyard on this episode!!!!!
I like your channel because you are so down to earth
6700 is a bit much. It should have been closer to 6000. It needs a solid 1000 in paint work. It should make it to Oklahoma though!
Would love to see it back to its prime days. Hold on to it for a minute.. It’s a fair price. It’s a true survivor and can be more beastly with some pipes. 👍👍
Yes, it will make it back!
I Definitely think the marauder will make it all way back to Oklahoma that was a sweet deal on a really nice car
That car. Great so happy for you will make it home
