The cheapest version of the Lightning will now start at about $50,000, a roughly $10,000 cut.
And the dealers just pocketed the difference probably.
And they’re still incredibly overpriced, even if they’re $10k cheaper
Average new car costs 45k in America these days
Protip: don’t buy new cars.
Used cars are barely cheaper these days. Saving three grand for an extra 30,000 miles is probably a bad trade.
Oh, I don’t buy anything from a dealer, either. Just got a pickup for 4 grand. Got my sedan 11 years ago for 5 grand… fuck middlemen.
I had to buy a car recently. The first five I wanted were sniped by the time I got to the dealership. I wound up having to pay 16k for a 9 year old car with 135k miles on it.
Cars are bonkers across the board right now. I honestly wish I had gone with a smaller new car rather than this older SUV that has already cost me in repairs.
Sure… if you can find the value…
All new cars are overpriced, but this price cut puts the Lightning as cheaper than a comparable gasser F150.
It only comes in an AWD super crew, and includes the better tech package. To get a super crew CLT gasser in 4x4 is about 5k more expensive than the pro trim Lightning, and the Lightning has more features at the base model than the XLT gasser
I’ve heard of several people returning these after trying to get multiple quality issues fixed. It was complete trash.
