One more picture. Engine bay looks a little dirty?

Engine bay looks really dirty, and what is with the low profile tires, what the hell size are those?

 

And the pic with the cd changer usually there is a large black box that goes behind the seats and houses the changer, you can pick one up to put back there relatively cheaply as most people get rid of them after adding a stereo system.

 

Tires are small as hell. Engine bay is dirty.

 

That's it! The tires. I knew something didn't look right. Here is a closer picture of one. Why would somebody put these on?

Might be better for handling? Maybe road racing?

 

Dude there is a nail in that tire as well check the pic

 

i can carfax it for you if you would like

 

Looks like it was taken 4 wheelin' based on the engine bay. I'm surprised it's not throwing an SES light with that filter being as dirty as it is.

 

IMO....that truck is pretty dirty. It was probably abused a little too. The reason I say this is because we as enthusiasts tend to keep our trucks lookin good. That truck kinda makes me think some young kid owned it, beat it up and tossed it aside. I think that it may have been lowered at one time.....that would explain the low profile tires and yes, there should be a black storage box by the cd changer. I know by the size of that power wire by the battery that it had a stereo system in it and then was taken out. To me, it just looks a little rough. There are more L's around in better condition for the same price.....I'd keep looking......just my 2 cents.

 

Thanks for help guys. I might want to keep looking. I really had my hopes up. This is the first Lightning I have found in my area. 10C5, can you go ahead and run a carfax?

 

email me the vin nick@romano.org

 

22,000 Thats not a bad price at all.

I am trying to find a used one for 25000 or under. The dealer I got all my other trucks from doesnt have one, but he said someone might trade one in. But the guy is balking right now and wont call the dealer back so doesnt look good for me.

31C
