Hey hey,

First post, kinda been lurking for a minute.

Ive been wanting/ watching these cars for over a year. Always wanted a marauder, but now and SHO makes more sense.

This guy has gone as low as 23900. Im probably going to go for it.

Anything im missing here? warning signs? stuff i should be checking for. its got PP listed in the AD, but im pretty sure its missing on the car, though this is the case for the last 3 ive looked at as well. I think ive decided its not a deal breaker. Also im sure ill be posting a ton after i get it.

Year, miles, maintenance records? Has the car been crashed, is it in good condition. Any idea if the PTU fluid has been changed?

 

[grayj1979]

ahh looks like my link was pulled. I dont know the rules yet lol.

2016, 21500 miles. No accidents, 1 owner, 401a. Looks like it was a fleet car.

no park assist\adaptive cruise\butt masseurs

No idea about the PTU fluid. I will bring it up with them for sure.

 

[SM105K]

If it was a fleet car, I would be asking about as many records that they have on the car.

Welcome. Good luck in your search!

If it was a rental originally, I doubt much documentation exists for the used car reseller.

If fleet I doubt a PP car, but check the steering wheel should have Alcantara® suede-wrapped steering wheel
And door sticker under axle for 2.

Yeah, its plain leather. I keep getting close, and then putting it off and continue to look.

If i expand the search a good ways outside of Kansas city I seem to find slightly better deals.

Although, finally this one out of the five I've looked at does not have a ragged out interior, and id hate to drive 400 miles to look at a car where they missed a ton of shit in the pictures.

I swear the previous owners of these cars opened the driver door with their work boots everyday.

Be willing to travel. Esp for deals on these cars.

I suggest you hold out for a PP SHO.
And I would value low mileage over price or year considerations.
Good luck

This is basically what i have done. Holding out for PP, and searching wider area.

Ended up having to travel for work for next 3 weeks, so put buying plans on hold till then. All the PP handling and brake upgrades really seem worth it on paper, not that i have driven them side by side.

I love my PP. However, I have never driven a non-PP so I am bias.

There is also a button to disengage traction control, less friction...more torque
