I am looking to get a new daily driver. I came across a 2001 white Lightning at a Ford dealership.
It has 48,xxx, 20" Lightning wheels and seems like a cat-back.
The dealership is asking $18,900.
The truck is overall clean, but there are a few cigarette burns on the drivers seat (not through to the cushion but there.
Is it worth the money?
I also have the option for an extended warranty for 3 years/36,000 miles from the date of purchase and on top of the 48k on there now for ~$1500.

I am new to Lightnings so I don't knwo if this is a good deal or not.

Lemme know

Thanks,
Dan

Not sure if that's a good price or not, but I'd be wary of the how well the previous owner looked after it (numerous cigerette burns? :shrug: ).

In any event, make sure you also ask on NLOC - these guys know Lightnings:

There was an intercooler upgrade/recall/tsb as well for certain model years - check the NLOC site for further details.

On a sidenote, you'll be refueling pretty often with a Lightning as your daily driver (ie - they like to drink fuel like no other LOL).

G'luck! :cheers:
