What is the Cheapest?

What is the cheapest someone on these boards has bought a 2001 Lightning for?

Or someone on these boards has heard of a 2001 Lightning being bought for?

Thanks,

WAL

WantALight:

Probably Canada- check Al's location. L's retail for $42650 CDN. With some good haggling skills, buying one for around $36- 37,000 is not unreasonable. That's what I got mine for.

Now convert that to US dollars. With today's exchange rate hovering around 1.58, the deals are even better. Assume a purchase price of $36,500 CDN. That's the equivalent of approximately $23100 US!!!

Okay,

So whats the difference between the US and the Canadian Lightning?

I dont live in the US so I can get the vehicle from Canada if there is that sort of savings...

Do you have any dealer's contact information in Canada that sell L's?

Thanks very much,

WAL

WantALight:

I bought mine at Rose City Ford in Windsor, Ontario (right across the border from Detriot, Mi.). The phone number is (519) 948- 7800. When I was there last week, they had 2 red ones left. That's it 'til 2002.

PS. You DON'T want to know what we can buy Corvette Z-06's for. Plus, it's a completely different model than the US version. Over here it's the Zed -06 and it's yours for about $42000 US.

Hey Red.

What year is your L. Mine's a black 01. I know of two others. One silver and one red. They are 99's or 00's. If yours is an 01 that would make 4 in a town with a pop. of just over 10k

It's a red '01. I'm a little bit outside of town in the old Anderdon township- Amherstburg mailing address.
