1st saw this 2000 Ford SVT Lightning advertised on Dubai Petrol heads in November last year for AED 75,000. It does look like a truck that has seen lots of attention paid to it with just about every part of it being at least touched with upgrades or refurbishments, from the engine to the interior.
It has now re-surfaced on Dubizzle for AED 65,000, a good 10,000 less than in November. A lot of car for the money if this is as well looked after an example as it seems to be.
