Hey, what is the usual price for a Lightning? They are $32,460 at a dealer close to me, and they only have 2 left, a red one and a black one, and I was wondering if this was a good deal or not.

------------------
1997 F150 Lariat Three Door Extended Cab Flareside 4x4, Two tone Pacific Green w/ Harvest Gold, Tan Leather Interior, Ford Premium Sound w/ CD Changer, Lund Solar Visor, Leather Tonneau Bedcover, K&N Air Filter, VentVisors
Wish List: Lund Racer Back Cab Spolier, Lund Shadow Winshield Wiper Cover, Lund Steps, RhinoLiner Spray-In Bedliner, Vortech Super Charger, Brush Guard, Hidden Winch, Lighted Ford Logo, I'll list more when I think of it...

 

The MSRP is $32,460. I suggest haggling a little bit to get that price down. Ask 29,000 and maybe they will cut you at 30,000. Good Luck.

 

With a sticker price over $32,000, late in the model year, and a slowing economy........12-15% below sticker price ($27-28,000) is the maximum to be paid. Please research this site, along with Edmunds.com, etc ...before paying $2-3,000 more than the rest of us paid for our trucks.

Good luck.....and, bargain hard.

P.S. - I paid $4,100 under sticker, with a sticker price 0f $30,835.

 

Don't know how far you want to travel, or if you must have a 2001. A local dealer has a 2000 L brand new marked down to $25,900! If I weren't building a house right now, I would trade mine in on it. They also have a 2000 Harley supercab at $25,900.

Lightnings are 2001.5 vehicles. So they are still fairly new on the market. Until next Spring they wont be out for the 2002 model year. Unlike the ones that come out in fall prior years.
