Oh k guys..... Today was pay day and if i did my math right i have 5500 bean's to put down on the L........... Is that to little..??? I would like payment to be under 320 ah month......? I mean im dieing to get another one but i will wate my time till i get the amount to be able to pay for the truck and gas and wash,stuff, wax..... MODS!!!!! So what do you think....? BTW im in the looks for a 03........... Any body who could help thanks ! Oh k im going to bed so i can go to work at 8 am... AAAAAH

 

Figure this..... The average payment is 20-25 dollars for every thousand you finance!! That might help!

 

well, this is hard to determine w/o knowing what interest rate you would qualify for and so on. Check out this address: http://autos.yahoo.com/finance.html Here you can plug in all of your numbers and figure out what you need to know.

 

I got the truck on A plan, $28,574.60, put $5000 down and my payments are $485 a month. I would say its going to be tough to get your payment that low.
P.S. I got 5.99%

 

Sounds like somebody i know.Hes always saying things like that.Id buy that hummer if i could get it for $500 a month.........

If you want a $300 payment,Your better off to keep you $5k which isnt alot of money anyway and go buy a Fucus SVT at 0% cause thats all you can afford.You would have to put at least $15k down on a lightning to get that kind of payment at sticker price with awesome credit and rate.

 

Bought mine with 12k down in 00 when everyone paid sticker and x plans were laughed out of the dealership.

Payment ended up 399.00 a month for 60.

Go there and plug away.

WOT

 

well i guess i'm a little closer to your desired payment..

2002 Lightning

A-plan price - $29,001

Down payment - $18,000

Monthly payment - $269.50 for 60 months at 7.25%

 

Well Dave the way I figure it, Normal is what you can afford. I just bought an 03 Heritage Ed. a couple of weeks ago and my payment is a shade over 500. By todays standards thats pretty good. I had to choose between 0% or 3,000$ rebate. they wouldn't give me both. I added 1,000 cash and they gave me a measly 1,000 for my tired old Bronco. So my down was 5,000, Price was 32K at 3.9 for 72 mos. And that was after I fought with em to remove the "adjusted market value" sticker of 1,449. I'm still in the honeymoon stage with my new truck with absoloutly no regrets, except maybe I should have haggled em down a little more. But I can honestly say it was a pleasant experience at the dealer. Sounds like you may have to save a little more, or trade in your 99 if you want payments any lower than mine, but it'll be worth it. They may still have the rebates going on, but I don't know. Later, Carl

When I bought my 01 in 01, there where no discounts and some dealers where getting over sticker.

I paid sticker with $100.00 down= $712.01 @ month

 

Look's like no L for a wile......... I guess ill keep saveing......

 

For that much down and 300 a month you could get an older very nice 5.0L stang that would whip most Gen 2 Lightnings.

Just a thought, WOT

 

HOLY *****! that hurts! but hell it IS worth it after all

 

Why not look at some pre owned Lightnings?

 

At the end of '01, I got my '01 for $1000 below MSRP, gave in a $9350 trade in, and at 2.9% for 60 mos., I was paying $450 a month................That pretty much tells you to be at around 330 a month, you need about 15K down..........................I think you should wait about 3 times as long as you've waited, and you'll be ok!
