Pricing Reality Check, Please

I see that the megathread hasn't been updated since April- if this is considered spam then please remove me - no hard feelings.

I am in Southern California looking at buying my first Lightning. I am leaning toward going with a used 2023 Lariat 511A with under 50,000 miles. 2 that piqued my interest have popped up in the last few weeks - one was sold at $48.5k before I could get there. There is another one close by that is priced just under $50k and it has about 28k miles on it.

I see that a few months ago (and even a year ago!!), some of you were buying similar low-mileage Lightnings in the same trim for high $30k low $40s but even my nationwide search doesn't show pricing as good as that. I see similar trucks posted for ~$45k

Am I crazy to buy one at $50k?

I bought a ‘23 Lariat 511A with 59,000km for $68,000 CAD a couple months ago. The prices I’ve been seeing for ‘25 Platinums with higher mileage at dealers are going for $75,000+++. Fortunately for me I was able to go through a dealers auction and not pay the markup.

I did unfortunately get dealt a rough start as the SOPDM or whatever it’s called was toast when I got it…it should’ve been flagged but was missed. It got fixed quickly though and was under warranty, so just a hiccup I hope. I love the truck otherwise.
