It's hard not to get excited about a short run of a full-size performance machine that combines a historic name with a modern fuel-injected V8. So dig into all the details on this loaded 2003 Mercury Marauder that has a mean full dark style.
With a name like Marauder you want it finished in black. This is the factory-correct color, which is always desirable, but there's also much more there that has your eye. Mercury knew how to give its sedan a full midnight package makeover. This includes the blackout grille, black background headlights, and a rear light package that was tinted as dark as the law would allow. There are other speedy details, like the special rear spoiler, smooth front bumper with integrated fog lights, and large dual exhaust tips. Plus, those 18-inch alloys stand out nicely in this dark package. The odometer reflects the full actual mileage, and so this one has been driven and enjoyed...but driving it is your plan for this one, too. The attraction is that you have a large modern classic sedan that retains the crisp/clean style that really shows it remains in charge. And while there will always be a comparison to this sedan's historic rival, the Chevy Impala SS, the GM car absolutely can't touch this one's rarity. Chevrolet sold more black 1996 Impala SS sedans than Mercury made Marauders IN TOTAL over its two-year run. So while we think the Chevys are a rare and valuable treat, this muscle Mercury sedan has truly solidified its reputation for rarity/collectability.
The big imposing look is part of the Marauder's appeal, and that also means you have a full-size interior. This gives you a practical modern classic that can carry the whole family. And the Dark Charcoal leather gives you a luxurious feeling while also continuing the car's dark and intimidating attitude. The Marauder was expensive when new, and so it got all the best features. This includes power windows, power locks, cruise control, dual airbags, and automatic A/C climate control. There are some nice upgrades like deeply tinted windows and an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input. It's made to be an excellent driver with power front seats, power-adjustable pedals, white-faced gauges, and the center console with factory-installed AutoMeter Pro-Comp readouts.
The reason why the Marauder was able to be such a powerful force is that it came about in the era of Ford's excellent 4.6-liter modular V8. This received the four-valve DOHC version, which basically gave this the same fuel-injected power as the contemporary 300+ hp Ford Mustang Mach 1. And while the numbers-matching motor is great for collectability, this one is also desirable for how it drives. The suspension was upgraded utilizing components from Ford's Crown Vic police program, including four-wheel disc brakes and sway bars front & rear. So this one knows how to handle its size. But for those times when you just want to cruise, features like the power steering and the four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive make this a fine road trip machine, too.
This has the look, power, and rarity we all want in an instant classic. So don't let this black Marauder slip away, call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT
. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold AS IS and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
