Question The Economy and Price

With the current downfall in the economy, will 1st and 2nd gen L's go down in price over the next while? haha I've always wanted an L but they are too expensive for me right now. I'm thinking they will go up in price because they are getting rare. Hopefully they get cheaper?

ya. do an ebay search. theres so many out there with various mileage. u may find something. and remember, those prices are just their asking prices. u can always get them down 1-2 grand. also, check out craigslist in your area.

13k you could def get an L. Just gotta get lucky. The prices have fallen dramatically. Good luck on your search bud. I have seen some ridiculous good deals,dont impulse buy and you can get an amazing truck. Trust me once you get one you will wonder why you waited so long. Can you maybe start a meth lab to get extra cash? Sudafed was on sale the other day.
