People that couldn't afford the $100k Ford Lightning.
They were well under $50K at one point.
I moved to a different state in 2023 and needed a new vehicle, and using CarMax, the gently used base model lightnings with cloth seats were going for $80k+. Want extended range and an upgraded trim? Yeah, that's $100k or more. Good luck buying a new one. I'm sure the MSRP was probably $50k, but you'd never actually find one for that price. Expectations meet reality.
