With just shy of 9400 miles logged and a clean history report to bear proof that it's avoided any collisions of note, this 2004 mercury marauder is both well-equipped and in top condition. It combines a few very effective modifications to go along with its great, understated looks, making it a great find for someone looking for a tastefully unique take on the american full-sized car. Marauders actually have a long history, dating back all the way to the early '60s, but the name plate remained dormant until just one year before this one came out. Its revival marked a drastic departure from the norm, as it was the first full-size mercury introduced in more than 40 years that didn't have a ford counterpart, so its designers at mercury wanted to make a strong, yet tasteful visual statement as it re-emerged, and they clearly succeeded. Black exteriors are often a high-risk proposition, as they tend to show every mishap and imperfection in glaring fashion. No such worries here, as this mercury looks great from all angles, with no obvious blemishes to distract from its strong shine and even coloring that sits under a great clearcoat. From all indications, it's led a sheltered life, as evidenced by its clear glass, very clean trim and headlights that don't even begin to show any oxidation. A combination of great comfort features and great condition make this black leather interior one seriously inviting environment. Clearly, it hasn't been victimized by any passengers lighting up inside, and even has that coveted "new car" smell. The heated bucket seats up front are very comfortable and opulently padded, and the bench seat in back features a fold down armrest. Both show only light wear, with no undue wrinkling or cracks on their surfaces. The dash area is a great blend of stock and aftermarket components, as a pair of procomp gauges reside below an am/fm/cd player to complement their white-faced counterparts in the instrument cluster. Post-2000 cars generally have a decided advantage over their predecessors in the features department, and this marauder is no exception, as it comes with power windows, power seats, power locks, cruise control and remote-opening doors to go along with air conditioning that's in fine form. The gray-lined trunk area is also in great shape, securely harboring a spare tire on its shelf with plenty of luggage room left over. This stylish post millennial sedan rides on a set of polished 18" wheels that are wrapped with nitto nt555 tires.
