Marauder Production Ends

Apr 08, 2004 5 Replies

Saw a clip in a local paper today that the Mercury Marauder will stop production in June of 2004.



I remmeber a Mercury Executive saying in 2002 before the car came out that the Marauder will be around for many years in limited quantity and won't go by the wayside like the shortlived Impala SS ( 92-96 ). Ha !



I guess many years only to come only means 2 model years in Ford's language.

The one I looked at had a dealer installed moonroof and a $37,000 price tag. I can think of quite a few better vehicles to buy for that price!

Some dude in the Ford NG claims its being dropped because for 2005 the Crown Vic, Marquis & Town Car are being built off a stretched version of the Lincoln LS platform.

#If they'd put a blower on it and sold it for $5,000 less (impossible, I #know...)...

The one I saw at the SEMA show a couple years ago did have a blower.

That one was a dud from Day 1. Ford has been hitting a lot of strikes and fouls these past ten years. Ever since they redesigned the Ford Taurus and took it from Best Selling car to ...... Also Ran. Ford has not produced a single hot selling automobile in ten years now. A few hot trucks, but not a single car is hitting sales plan.
