2003-2004 Mercury Marauder: Forgotten Luxury Muscle Car
The 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder gave the Panther platform some much-needed muscle.
In response to the 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS, Mercury revived the Marauder name on an early-2000s rear-wheel-drive muscle sedan
While not as fast as the Impala SS, the 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder handles better, and it’s faster than the related Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis
Although it didn’t sell well, the Marauder is an appreciating sleeper luxury muscle car today
Subtlety is a language most muscle cars can’t speak, which arguably suits most buyers just fine. But the few that mastered the sleeper art now often enjoy significantly more appreciation than they did when they were new. That includes an early-2000s muscle car from a brand known more for luxury than performance: the Mercury Marauder.
