I found a black 01' Lightning with around 45K miles on her. Asking price is 22K. Is this a good price and a good year to buy? Looks like the previous owner put flowmaster exhaust on it, not sure if any mods are under the hood because its Sunday and the dealer wasn't in. Any advice would be much appreciated!

 

I got an 01 in Nov of 03 with 32K for less that that. It only had a catback on it.

Look here for good deals.

That's a little high for that mileage. And black is a son-of-a-..... to maintain so take a good look at it in daylight when you're there.


Good luck!

just bought an '01 for $19K here in SoCal. had 56K miles on it but had a 100K mile fully transferrable warranty. Already had ******* lid, bed rug, aftermarket grilles, CAI and full exhaust. Best of all, engine was bone stock to best of my knowledge (ran a tuner to check for residual codes and found none).

Dealer trade is about $18K, PP sale is around $20K and delaer retail is around $22K (got these values from edmunds and KBB). Good luck.

 

Guess that answers my question.

 

The paint on it is perfect, so someday this week I'm going to go check it out with a dealer there. Are the 01's when the engine output was increased to 380 h.p., or are these still the 360 h.p.? I want to go see it now, but unfortunately we are getting 10 - 12" of snow, so I'm thinking today isn't a good day to test drive it, hahaha. Thanks alot for your input, and now I know i can get the dealer to come down in price a bit.

 

99-00 360hp
01-04 380hp

They do great in snow.

 

I bought an 01' in 03 with 19K for $22K. It had a bedrug, alpine cd player and bazooka tube behind the seat too. Just to give you an idea.

 

I have a buddy with a red 01 stock Lightning

If you look up a value, dont go by KBB. They are artificially high on dealer retail since they are funded by the auto dealers.

 

Last month I picked up a bone stock 01' with 27K miles for $17,000.

 

I just picked up an 02 model from a dealer for 20k, it had 35k on it. You might shop around, I found mine on the Internet at Cars.com. I had to drive 200 miles to get it, but it was well worth it..

 

LOL, Looks ike you tried to sneak a little classified ad in there Dan

Why don't you do what other people do? Post a new topic "Need help, what do you think my truck is worth?" Blah Blah Blah. I wish I had a delete button when I click on topics like that.

 

I got my 02 for $25k and it gad a little under 6000 miles on it.
