I was on blueovalnews.com reading about the Ford Lightning and came across something that kind of suprised me. And I am hoping a current owner could shed some light on the subject for me.

The quote is: "The 1999.5 model has a $5,070 price tag for those "unscheduled repairs"."

What are these unsceduled repairs? And, why are they so much.

Thanks,

Have you ever heard the old line "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear"? BON is a good rumor mill, some truths but more rumor. Take it with a grain of salt.......

 

I do not know if this is what you are talking about but all manufactures build into the cost of all units a repair cost during the warranty period. I know that Ford builds into most of their units $1,000.00. Ford may have build into the Lightning $5,000 for repairs because it is such a special unit.

Looking for a better paying job to support my L

 

I kept my 93 L for six years and put 157000 miles on it. I spent less in unschedled maintenance than the 100K extended warranty would have cost. I did; however, do my own brake jobs after ford did the first three I did the next six.tt pads, ft pads & capipers,ft pads, ft pads & capipers, ft pads.................
