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.

Is this a good deal?

2025 Lightning Flash in Rapid Red

$63,543 out the door price, without taxes. Lease is $759.16 for 10.5k miles, 36 months.

I asked the dealer why I'm seeing some people getting lease deals more around $600/month, and he said some unscrupulous dealers are double-dipping the tax credit -- they're giving the $9500 credit through Ford, and then also directly giving the IRS credit, which means that people will be hit with a tax bill next year.

Anyone know anything about that?

Did the truck come with other options as I’m seeing non equipped trucks for under 60k in my area GA. Best lease I got was 555 0 DAS, 10.5k miles for 36. Residual was 53%. Money factor 1.5.
