01 Lightning for sale

[Actionpike]

I need help trying to sale my Lightning. If ya can spread it around to anyone you know, I would appreciate it. My wife and I just found out she is pregnant. I am going to get a more family friendly vehicle. If anyone helps me sell it for the price I am asking or close I will give you $500.

01 Black Lightning - 6,200 miles Hard cover, spray in bed liner, Lo-Jack, Ford factory alarm, tinted windows, perma-plate(70,000 warranty on paint & leather), and extended warranty. I have added Borla mufflers to the truck. The truck has no scratches or dents and no blemishes on the inside.

I am asking $32,000. That is $6,000 less than what I paid after everything was added. Or they can assume the loan.

Let me know if you know anyone that would be interested.

Thanks for your help,

What are you asking for it? :confused:

You forgot something......the price.


edit: You beat me to it Sam.

Thanks

I noticed that right after I posted it. You can tell I do not want to do it. The car dealership offered me 29,000 and CarMax offered 30,000. I just can not take a hit on this. The truck is worth alot more.

[J.D. Blackwell]

I would take that $30K and run. With the '02's already out and people selling their low mileage '99-00's at around $21-23K's, it would be a ***** to compete with that.

[Actionpike]

If I am going to lose money on it, I would rather sell it to an individual not a dealership. They will turn around and make money off of it. I am willing to lower to 29,000 but that is the lowest.

Sorry to see ya go Brian! I know how much you and your wife enjoy that truck. However, congratulations on your lil' newbie! :)


Good luck selling it and I'll keep my eye open for a buyer of that ultra-rare and by far 'slowest color' black Lightning. :p :D

Take care.

[Actionpike]

Thanks Red. If I do not get the offers I want then I guess I will have to keep it!!!! oh darn

I just want a fair price for it.

Have you ran yours yet?
I ran a 1/4 @ 13.6 at Ennis
Slow reaction time though .8.

I am still going to go to the meetings. Maybe I can pick up a Gen 1 and fix it up in a year or so.

Take care

Brian,
Don't freak out, if you just found out about the new baby, you have a few months to sort things out.
Keep the L clean and low milage as possible. By the time the baby comes, you'll have a bit more equity in it and hopefully the the "Hit" won't be so bad. :)
Besides, you'll need a truck to carry all the "Baby Stuff" for a while .. :D

Congratulations ............... :tu:

30 from carmax is a deal... I would jump on it ... The Used market is depressed with all the Zero financing.. Logan just sold his 99 for less than 20k - his was in good shape...

I would keep the truck, get a car seat, and let the woman's car be the trasport. Unless the monthly payment is the problem? Both of my friend s with kids are like this:1) He has a 99' C5 Vette, she drives an Expedition. Family outings in the Expy, man trips and dates in the vette. 2) He has a 01' SS Camaro tuned out and she drives the 02' Honda Accord family car. Both are happy and still fast! :tu:

Don't get discouraged man,

We have a 2 year old and a carseat fits just fine in the passenger seat with the airbag off. My wife rides in the middle seat (that is where she rode in my Gen 1 while we were dating:D .

You can still have a lightning with the family, just be careful when the family is in it. My daughter loves riding in "daddy's truck" I have another truck, but she only wants to ride in the L. I will get on it a little when she is with me. Everytime she hears the whine of the s/c, she says "wheee daddy, wheeee!!" It's great!

My 99L went for 18500 and was sold by John eagle for 20500... with 55k miles on it...

Thank you guys for all of the advice. I really appreciate it. I believe I am going to keep it for now. I was pretty much ready to trade it in. When I took my wife with me she was the one that was saying now I would rather you have this truck. She does not want to sell the Lightning. The only reason I was willing to sell it was to be off more with the baby. I will decide later when the baby is here. So I am still here for know.

Once again thanks for the advice,

Brian Kinsworthy:)
