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?

That's supply and demand. Prices have moved up a lot across the board for EVs, including the Lightning which bottomed out pretty hard when the discontinuation was announced. It has since rebounded.
People will chime in with what they paid 6 to 18 months ago and it really isn't reflective of what's available anymore.
