It looks a lot like the one I saw. It may have been my neighbors. My dad was asked to buy it for 60,000.

No, dollars. Green stuff, cold hard U.S. currency. I thought they were out of their minds.
Apparently someone wanted it bad enough though...

Saw this as I was leaving my auto tech school.
Would've gotten a better pic but I was going 30 as he was turning. My first Mercury Marauder.

Yay, more Marauder.
Also guys, is a Jeep Cherokee Fire Rescue or a DB Acura Integra considered interesting at all? I just want to check on that.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'd love the Jeep. Never seen one of those Acura's though.

I had a feeling that you would, but before I go picture taking again (which I may or may not do tomorrow), I need to make sure they're worth spotting. So, I need more than 1 opinion.
------------------------------------------
Anyway, aside from those, I today decided to do what I said I was going to do a couple days ago and go explore the neighborhoods to see if I can find anything interesting and guess what; I did just that.
Starting off, I saw this group of classics that were all parked in front of this guys house and they were all his. He had a nice little collection, a couple needed some work, but they were still nice. I talked to the owner of these cars and he seemed nice.
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
1940s or 50s Chrysler
1976 Chevrolet Camaro (at least that's what the owner told me it was and that he put 1972 front and rear ends on it).
Now that I look at it, the rear window does look mid 70s Camaroish
Late 60s VW Beetle (I think)
I then exploring through other parts of this neighborhood.
Mazda RX-7 Convertible (FC)
1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS (how many Camaros am I going to see in Florida)
Early 60s Chevrolet C10 Pickup
BMW M3 Coupe (e92)

What's so special about the Marauder out of curiosity? I see then quite a bit, plus some guy up the street owns one. I certainly sounds good.

The Mercury Marauder is to Ford what the 1996 Impala SS was to Chevrolet basically. It's a Mercury Grand Marquis, but better looking and with more power & muscle.

Are you sure it's not the same one (or same few) you see every time? They only made a little over 10,000 of them, and TMK that makes it quite rare.

Maybe, I know I definitely see a few different ones around though. I wasn't aware they were that rare.

Yea, they only came in a few colors but the majority were black. I've only ever seen one. Luckily it was parked and I was able to get a pic, but it was a looong time ago and I have no idea where it is in this thread.

They made only that many Marauders? Okay, I'm definitely glad I took a picture of the one I saw the other day now.
Also yeah, I'm actually find it kinda funny. For a state called the "sunshine state", there sure isn't a lot of sunshine. At least so far. It's been cloudy and rainy for about 2 weeks here.

Who saw a 1 of 10,000 car, probablably won't see it again till the weather warms up.

Beats freezing and snowing.

I think they're a meh depends how clean/ customized they are.

That's true, after 5 years of living in CT; I'm glad to be living in a state that's warmer and where I don't need a snow blower to clear out my driveway.Beats freezing and snowing.

I rarely see 240SXs, but I think they're always good spots like any sporty japanese cars from the 80s.

I thought they only came in black. That's all I've ever seen them in anyway.
Maybe I should take a walk around the neighborhood and get some pictures once it gets warmer... Not sure where the guy who owns one is though. I see it drive by quite a bit, or at least hear it.

Are all of the plants in Germany? I don't know much about Audi but, for BMW, I'm pretty sure the overseas non M cars are all made outside of Germany. Aside from their top models, M series, which I believe are all still produced in Munich. My fathers E46 was produced in Germany.

I would be rather surprised is BMW made the 3/5 series outside of Germany, considering my bottom of the line Mercedes was made in Germany.
