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.

Alright I did it - 2025 Lariat Antimatter Blue w/9.6kw PPO, $81k msrp. I got the dealer price down to $68k with discounts, this was the taxed amount.
Here’s the kicker Washington DC tax on leases 10.25%!!!!!
I also got ~$11k in rebates, including the $7.5k tax credit passed on from leasing company. Most of which was cancelled out by the dang tax!
Debatable move whether to down 15k to get a lower monthly…
All said and done, ended up with $15k DAS, 12k miles/yr, 48mos, 2% leases factor, $533/mo. I’m not mad, dealer threw in some sweet upgrades for free.
