Thinking About A New Truck

Hey guys thinking about trading my truck and $2500 for this

2001 svt lightning

Has never been winter drivin, 117000 km on it has a few mods on it.
- Lowered 2" in front 3" back
- after market exhaust K&N filter
- 20" low profile UAS rims

Must see!! want to sell for full size 4x4. More pics availiable if wanted.

Remember I am in Canada. Do you guys think it is worth it. He is asking $13,500 with no trade.







The truck has virtually no rust. Details of my Truck are in my sig and here is a pic of my truck

are your miles just as high? if so i think it's a fair trade but i would get closer to even trade as possible.

All Lightnings of that generation are supercharged. Is this truck a clone that is not supercharged?

Price is about right, maybe low ball a bit. Otherwise, do it!

check under the rear by the taillights and bumper and see if there is any rubber stuck up under it. that way you know if it has been abused. atleast from burnouts

Man, I really like your current truck! More my style truck I suppose. Lightnings are sweet, too. Let us know how it all goes.

Definitely not my style. You're goin from what ya have now, a truck, to practically a car... not saying its not a good deal for the right person but I wouldn't do it, I need a truck to be a truck. I do like some parts of the lightning though, just not what i would go for. look forward to seeing results

I lost the bidding war. It came down to the guy wanting my truck and 6000 and to me its not worth it. plus the more I thought about it the more I like my truck better.
