I've been searching build records.

According to blend dates and serials the only RED Platinum built in the final weeks

...was serial G30745

Delivered to Bud Small Ford.

Ford lost around $200K on each Lightning...They will be very collectable.



With Ford Motor Company help ...I will provide more late serial numbers

Somebody has got to buy this one....

Zero percent for 72 months, Zero cash down, Zero payments for 90 days

....It may even be the last Platinum. as there were many unshipped

Wonder what they would be doing with the unshipped ones. Company vehicles?

I think our friends at ford missed the mark a bit. They could’ve offered us a place to the reserve the T3 EV.

Instead…

I misspoke.

The un-shipped vehicles were ordered, assigned serial numbers and never built.

The Ford website listing of vehicles for sale has hundreds of listings that were never built.

Lightnings were in demand from dealers.

Just because " Ford lost around $200K on each Lightning" doesn't means they will be very collectable.

Not like I'm gonna put my Flash on Market Place for $272,000

It's not like Lightnings are suddenly worth zero...

I'm confident the depreciation will not be ...like some are saying it will be.

I am buying a new Lariat, as we speak.

Zero percent for 72 months ...plus the discounts is just way too good to pass by.

Oh, I see, Bud Smail Ford is in here now posting that THEY have the last red, platinum, Lightning...

brilliant marketing.

Lol, all in jest. It would be a good move to sell of your Lightning stock though!

Anyone who thinks Ford‘s $19.5 billion charge was all due to the Lightning (and a whole lot seem to think that) clearly made zero effort to read the announcement or majorly failed to understand what they were reading

Well hopefully whoever gets serial G30745 will join us here on the forums!

I found it interesting looking at the black seats. Wise design choice as it prevents the suede from bleeding black on the white seats like mine does.
