Lease?buy

Dont lease! your payments will be sky high, buying would be a better option
if you put down say 10,000 your payments should be around 500
per month for 60 months at 9%

Buy a 99 Lightning with all the mods.

2fast4you:


It would be much easier to buy a 99 Lightning with all the mods

and its in showroom condition. I have a 99 Lightning with over
8K mods, it has a 26,000 miles and maybe a trasferrable 7 yr or 100000 mile warranty for 24,500. The photo is proof of the pudding, I have yet to see a 2000 or 2001 Lightning look as sweet as this Lightning.

Half the fun is getting it bone stock and customiing and modding it exactly the way you want it, IMHO!

I leased mine for a one time payment of $15,000. It is a 2 year lease.

At the end I can buy it for the price in the lease, sell it and make some money, or turn it in. Considering I don't drive it daily I will probably sell it and get a new one.

There are many things to think about regarding lease vs buy. Check out www.autosite.com for some comparison tools. Remember, if you lease you have mileage restrictions as well as all the things mentioned already.

Good luck. In either case you made the right decision on getting an L.

Which ever way you go, just make sure you get a RED one. It's the fastest you know.
