Actual official starting price is $52K. But still - I have a deal of a lifetime for you. Ill buy 100 of them from you right now paying $62K cash money. You have a chance of a lifetime to make a cool $1mil shuffling some paper. How about it?

pro tip: they lie, thats what desperate car companies do.

How are they lying? Lol

For the record, I don’t tell Fords. If you’re referring to the inability to get one… yeah, it’s extremely popular.

Its not popular, its manufactured in small numbers (few thousand per month) and sold at huge dealer premiums.

Chevy is lying about the price same way Ford was. Nobody bought Lightning at msrp other than brand advocates and media personalities (certain youtubers magically get allocated unobtanium cars skipping queue and sticker price).

I think your conspiracy theories are misplaced.

So how about those Lightnings? Maybe only 10? Ill pay $70K cash money. Mysteriously a couple car youtubers I follow were able to buy before public at sticker price. Same goes for 2023 Z06 vette.

Between small inventory and dealer premiums those halo cars are just PR stunts.
