The car looks to be in good condition, and the price is super cheap. Unfortunately, I have heard less than stellar things about the people selling it. I emailed them for some more about the car's history and mileage and plan on getting a mechanic to inspect it when I go.
Better eat your Wheaties.

try and get a car fax for it, there are ways to get around a car fax so it doesnt report it, but there were many cars i didnt buy do to there carfax report.
im sure there are a couple people on here that will help you out if you shoot them a couple bucks for it.
I liked those marauders when they came out. The KB tuned versions are pretty freakin bad ass.
Keep your eye on the price of gas ;)

Those are pretty tight rides though I don't think I would make it my DD due to gas prices.

^^^^^^^Marauder has a 4.6L same as in the mustangs and vics.
"14 records found in the CARFAX Vehicle History database...."
even if it is just a bunch of owners, I hate buying one with this many records.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does KB stand for?

It won't be my daily, although it will probably get better MPGs than the DD

That is alot of records. Besides title changes and accidents, what else could be generating a record?

KB = Kenny Bell
I believe any time mileage is reported a record is generated, this means inspections, title changes, any insurance claims, and possibly tag transferalls (if the owner moved across state lines and had to get a local state tag)

It's not the same engine. Pretty sure the Marauder has the 32-valve like the Lincoln Mk. 8's.
It's expensive to mod, but a pretty good car none the less. I'd rater pay less for an Impala SS and be going just as fast and look just as good, but if that's what he wants, he should get it.

He actually started out tuning Grand Nationals, I have quite a few parts of his on mine, old school baby.:boobies:

The impalas are sexy but IMO the Marauder is sexier.

96 era SS is my one of my top 5 favorite cars that I can reasonably afford. Their aren't any on autotrader right now in my price range (5-10k). I'm just looking for a second/project car and if I found an Impala I would want to get a low mileage one but I cannot afford a nice one right now (all of them I have seen are $12+)
Look on impalassforum.com
Seriously.

Well I do but my brother decided to take my car without my permission and wiped the front end on a tree. :angryfire: At this point I've lost interest in the car so I'm thinking about selling it and building a fox, what a coincidence, wanna buy the gn??

Yeah, great idea. Do you have any other vehicles you've wrapped around a fucking tree that you'd like to sell us?
