[halflife]

Great news!!!
Question, I have been thinking about this alot. Am i going to buy it when it first comes out or wait until year 2 to find out the bugs.
New truck, New technology, new motor, new problems.

I want #1 off the line but I am not forgetting it is still a Ford.

[Guapo]

Did they quote you a price, or is it too early for that?

[BDAZSVT]

I'm with halflife on this one????

[Konig]

Its always a good idea to wait until the second or third year at least.......but there will be problems of some sort no matter what year you buy

[ICULOKN]

They didnt give a price yet because they dont know.... or atleast wont tell me. Luckly I have a good friend and wont pay any Market Adjustment crap....


He did say the GT40's are going to be over $200k they think...

[trashguy]

no flame , but i thinks its useless to do anything right now.
until everything is offically announced and theres a price and
option list, a dealer cant do squat.i dont care about bugs or
1st year problems as soon as i can really order one ,im doin it.
im tired of my hd already ,i just hope i can wait another year or so. i almost traded my hd in for a h2 recently .

Hi all!!!

No pricing is available for the new Lightning yet... it won't be out till MY 2006...

Also, the GT are supposed to be around $150k MSRP... however you probably won't be able to touch one for under $200k...

Laters,

Good thinking. Coming from someone that bought 2 99 cobra's, which spent 4 of the 12 months I owned them in the shop, waiting til the 2nd model year isn't a bad idea. Of course in the cobra's case they were so bad there wasn't a 2nd model year.

The 99 Cobras are so cheap to buy because of that over rating issue.... I see lots of 17 year old kids driving those around town.

I will probaly wait a year or two for the bugs to be worked out.

Probaly buy a used one this time also as the money saved can go toward mods.

Bad thing is, you can't tell HOW it was used ... Just think of the
poor guy that gets Sal's beast when it comes off lease ... LOL

Normally I would agree, but since I can never leave anything alone, I am sure (unless it came with a built motor) I would be doing some driveline work to it.
If I would have known I was going to change almost everything I probaly would not have bought a new one.

I still remeber telling my wife (she reminds me all the time) that I was going to leave the L stock and not touch a thing.

then I found F-150 online and the tuners and all that went out the window.

I don't regret it at all.

hahah I agree with you 100% but its just funny coming from you. Of all the people, you truck is one of the furthest from stock. That's great man. I said the same thing 100 times about the Lightning, and now same thing with the Cobra. But I've had the Cobra a month now, and i only put 500 miles on it before I put the short throw, predator and powerstack on it.

I said the same thing when I bought my L. Gotta change with the times. haha
