Market commentary
Similar in concept to the Chevrolet Impala SS of the mid-1990s, the 2003 Mercury Marauder was a full-sized muscle sedan based on a more pedestrian luxury counterpart. Largely based on the Crown Victoria, it got police-spec bits like an aluminum driveshaft, and the 4.6-liter Modular V8 was built to the same 302-hp, 318-lb-ft specs as the Mach 1 Mustang. Black, Dark Blue Pearl and Silver Birch were the only available colors, but black was by far the most popular. With a name like Marauder, how could it not be? It's a neat sleeper sedan that makes whoever's driving look like an FBI agent, but historically hasn't been particularly valuable. This one sold for $42,000 on Bring a Trailer in May of 2022, but as a never-driven showpiece this car's sales have little bearing on prices for other, more used Marauders, which are commonly less than half this number.
