Ok i found two lightnings in my area for sale, and im definitly gonna put some money down on one of them.

03 Lightning #1 -- Black, 14,000 miles, all stock with a fiberglass cap and spray in liner. $23,500 including a $2400 trade

03 Lightning #2 -- Dark Gray Silver Metallic, 45,000 miles, leveling kit in the rear, cold air intake, dynomax exhaust, soft tonneau cover, and a bedrug.
21,100 including a $1800 trade(i offered them 20,000 and he told me he could only knock 100 off the price.)

I like the fack that the black lightning only has 14,000 miles and its only $2400 more for 30,000 less miles. But i really love that metallic gray paint and that truck was super clean.

So if this was your situation what would you do?

Go with the #1!!! Its not all modded up and beat it sounds like they just wanted a truck, I.E spray in bedliner. The fiberglass covers look awesome if you get a spoiler on it too.

It is more, but the other guy sounds like an asshat too.. Only knock off $100? What the hell? Well why wouldn't he list it at 22,000 or 23,000. hmmm

oh well that ****ty. Well, I know I would go with the black one because it sounds pretty pristine and black is really nice on lightnings. The grey one sounds okay, and it would be nice to have a few mods off of the start... but I would rather have an virgin one, and not have to worry about a trade in.

well, what color do you want? That should be step 1. It's possible neither of those are the one you wanna end up with, and you could keep looking until you find THE ONE

i would rather have gray... but i took someone with me today and went and looked at both trucks and like my friend said with all that stuff done to the gray truck you can tell that its been DRIVEN combined with the fact that the salesmen was an ass, and the black truck dosent have a scratch on it, its mint. Yea i like the gray but i like the black too soo on monday im gonna put money down on the black one, i've never seen a lightning in such good shape
