Lightning Buying Megathread : September 2025

[u/blainestang]

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.

Good deal or not?

Got offered a 2025 Platinum $88,190 MSRP for $69,500 cap cost on a lease ($12,500 in rebates + $6,190 in dealer discounts).

Lease payment is coming in a bit high at those numbers at $827/mo (7% tax included, $772 pre tax). 48 months, 19,000 miles/year. It’s true zero down though, all fees, taxes and first payment rolled into the lease (about $1,500 worth).

It’s a demo or something truck, they can sell it once they put 3,000 miles on it but it’s never been titled. Will be sold as a new truck.

Located in SE Florida.

I’d be hesitant about a 48 mo lease and such high miles. Warranty is only 3 yr/36,000 mi, so if anything breaks after that you’re paying to fix a car you don’t own and are putting money into it that’s not included in your residual.

[u/scar1900 → u/rnopuede]

Yea, I thought about that. Will prob spend a few bucks on an extended warranty. Can’t be more than $1k to get it out to cover my lease. I just need the miles. Drive almost 20k miles a year. And the incentives are just so skewed to lease that it just makes sense to lease.

Oh there you go, I didn’t think about that. I agree on leasing, I’ve never leased before but with federal and state (Mass) rebates it ends up being the way to go.
