No "market adjustments" at my dealer, and more and more dealers are selling MSRP.

It really is a unicorn to find a pro with a EXTENDED battery. If you really want the extended battery and get forced into a XLT you are going to pay 81k minimum sticker + market adjustments.
Glad I got my 2022 May build LARIAT with an extended range battery and many more features than a pro for… Wait for it… Less than $80,000! And no dealer markups!

Essentially, we’re trying to tell you that you probably won’t get a buyer at that price. At the price you’re asking? Somebody could get a higher trim level. People looking for a pro don’t want to spend $80,000 and the people who are willing to or can spend $80,000 aren’t looking for a Pro.

The first rule of selling anything is to know your market.

Think what you will, but given everyone’s response so far to your praise was to laugh at it. I’m pretty sure I’m not in the minority with thinking you’re asking way too much for that truck.

Given that my own fully equipped lariat cost less than the model you’re trying to offload, there’s no way in heck I would ever have considered your price even if I wasn’t already front seat driving my own Lightning!

Good luck selling it…

Understood, you aren’t my market but a back seat driver. You are still in a 22 mindset. 23 prices will drive the prices even higher.
Actually no. 2022 had the crazy market, interest rates were still low, high inflation…now opposite is true interest rates are high and recession is creeping in, supply and demand is evening out. Car prices are coming down. Luckily I dumped my Leaf for 23k when market for them were high end of summer last year. Just checked in this week on KBB, it’s now valued at 19k.

Dealer demos are ready for sale if not already. Most are selling at msrp. Lariat ERs can be gotten for less than 80k if you do your homework and you should be able to get federal tax credit.

Yes, I’m a “back seat driver”, but want my fellow members here not to be ripped off.

Good luck with sales but hopefully not a member here unless you adjust your price.

No, as production ramps up this year, prices for used units will go down. It is already happening.

Yeah, we are busting your chops a little, it is a bit of a rough & tumble crowd.

Good luck to you. I am sure there is somebody out there that would pay close to what you are asking. Probably just not in this forum lol.

Unfortunately, while MY 2023 prices have increased for new trucks, the value of Lightnings on the secondary market have gone down due to economic pressures and the fact that used BEVs do not qualify for the federal tax credit at this time. If you look at the cars and bids or the bring a trailer auction sites, you will see that for the months of December and January, Lariat ER trucks are bringing around the low to mid $80 price figures at best. And, many of those only have a few hundred miles on them. I get that your truck is unique for the retail market, but based upon my observations from various Lightning forums, those who are generally interested in an extended range Pro will want to pay around $50K for the truck because they are extremely price conscious. And again, because your truck would be sold as used, there is no federal tax credit.

KBB is listing original MSRP as Fair Market Value for a perfect unit. I am guessing your original MSRP was in the area of $50k with the ER pack? That is where I would start, see if you get bites there.
:cool:(y)
