Grand Marquis = more luxury, more old rish gai status

Marauder = kinda rare, only came in a few colors, goes moar fast, more bamf wheels/grille/suspension/etc

Most of Mercury's line was barely any different from Ford since at least the 1980s.

The Maurauder was something special, though.

from le wikipedia:

From 2003 to 2004, Ford resurrected the Marauder name as a high-performance version of the Mercury Grand Marquis sedan. Although the Mercury division is most directly a competitor to Buick (and formerly Oldsmobile), the design of this Marauder drew many parallels to the 1994–1996 Chevrolet Impala SS in being a contemporary full-size "muscle sedan."[1]

To differentiate itself from the Grand Marquis, the Marauder borrowed and customized trim parts from both its Ford and Mercury stablemates. The headlights and corner lights, from the Grand Marquis, had all non-reflective surfaces blacked out and wore a body-color grille instead of chrome. Side trim and the B-pillars are painted body-color like the Crown Victoria, which donated its trunklid, and tail lights tinted to just within DOT standards. The Marauder wore its own front and rear bumpers, with the front featuring Cibié fog lamps and "Marauder" embossed on the rear. The car's five-spoke 18" wheels feature Mercury's classic "god-head" (Mercury's silhouette) emblem on its center caps.

In contrast to the Grand Marquis, the interior of the Marauder featured front bucket seats and a floor shifter with a center console; leather seats were standard. Instead of the simulated wood trim seen in the Grand Marquis, the Marauder substituted simulated satin aluminum trim in its place. The instrument cluster was Marauder-specific, with satin aluminum gauges (with a 140-mph speedometer borrowed from the Ford Police Interceptor) and the pressed electrical board to control them are model-exclusive. To make room for the tachometer, the oil-pressure gauges and voltmeter were moved to the center console. The Marauder is also the only Panther car after 1997 with a specific pin on the PCM for a tachometer.

korkah, does your CV have the door keypad?

Edit: just saw pics, :datKeypad: you have le codes? Did it come with the keyfob to unlock dat bish?

Mine has keypad but fgt US Customs didn't give the previous owner a keyfob or original keys. I just have two copies. And only one has a chip. They didn't give him the keypad code either but Rogers figured it out

So haz one key that starts the car, one that only opens doors/trunk, and no fobz

[BillyJeanKing]

i gots keypad pero no code, two keys that control everything and remote thing for doors and trunk

[theholycow]

I don't think I've seen silver or blue Marauders.

DFW extra chipped key and keyfob

Furd will tell you the door code if you care but they'll probably charge you. Fgts. Its nice to haz in case you lock something in the car or you run out to car to grab something and forgot keys, etc.

I've seen a few pics but not many, they're usually black.

[race2c]

I want this color in a Marauder. This is an 04 Dark Toreador Red Marauder, although not the rarest color of Marauders. Here is one I have been eyeing, once I get the funds. 2004 DTR Trilogy. Trilogy Motorsports was a company in Michigan who did lots of aftermarket work for the 4.6L 4V motor, especially with the MMs. I am not sure on the exact number of how many MMs were installed with the trilogy kit, but do know it was low.



All Marauders are somewhat rare, but rarest being dark pearl blue based upon production numbers.
