Don't want to do it but have to. Gotta sell the Lightning.

Any ideas on it's value: 99 Lightning, 33,000 miles, red, tinted windows, fiberglass slim top. Chip/MAF optional?

Great Condition!

I traded in my '99 on a '00 last Monday and got $28,000.00 for it. The truck had 16,000 miles on it.

 

Sold my 99 L Saturday, painful but...
27,750 miles new tires stock. Sold for $27,000.

 

Thanks Guys,
Can't imagine not having the Lightning sitting so peacefully in the garage, but my real passion is going 115 mph. on a freshly groomed trail in the U.P Eh! Need to get a sled hauler.

Funny thing is, I was thinking of asking around $21,500. Think i'll re-consider the asking price.

I plan on about 6 trips to the UP this season towing a Pace American enclosed two-place. I bought a set of 2000 SuperCrew wheels and tires off a guy for under $500 and put them right on the L. They work perfectly. The taller tires reduces the axle ratio; so, the torquey L motor has less bite. I don't anticipate any problems using the L for winter duty. The ride is VERY soft and the ride height is exactly the height of my buds F150 supercab 4x2 4.6. We used his truck all season last season with absolutely no problems. This year, the L will share duties. Unless you've got other reasons for selling your L, I wouldn't do it.
