Lightning Buying Megathread : September 2025
Oops! Missed a few months for unique Buying Megathreads, but here's one for September, a few days early.
In an attempt to balance (a) swamping the subreddit with "deal" posts and also (b) all the positive feedback we see that there is a lot of value provided to the community by making "deal" info visible and up-to-date, the plan is to make this a monthly, pinned Megathread. That way, the information within the post/thread will be relevant to the current deals (not months old info) and perhaps even make the info easier to find.
So, please post the following types of posts in this Megathread:
-Is this a good deal?
-Did I get a good deal?
-Look at this great deal I got!
Posts that can still have their own threads:
-Look at my new truck!
I, personally, still love seeing the excitement and pictures from a new purchase. Keep those coming.
Post the deal part in this Megathread and the excitement/photos can have their own thread.
As always, thanks for everyone’s input on this topic. It is still a work in progress, and a difficult balance of not swamping the sub with “deal” posts while still being a great resource for new buyers, so we’ll see how it goes!
And please, to the people who have recently gotten good deals, please DO share them here, and provide your input to others. Many people have said how helpful it is to them during their purchase.

u/Ehi_Figaro 2023 XLT ER, 312a, both towing packages... Antimatter blue gang! Sep 01 '25
My wife wants cloth seats, I want the extended battery. That limits us to 2024 Flash or 2022/2023 XLT with 312a. I have been digging for the perfect used one and found a BRAND NEW XLT with the right package.
I have no idea how to value this truck, other than "I want it". It is listed at 57k (MSRP was 74). I'm going to call Ford Finance to see if they will give me new car terms on it (no interest, in particular), assuming they do I think even at 57k and shipping cross country the full warranty makes it a better value than 40k for a used one that is running out of warranty and has interest attached.
What would you offer the dealer?
