CJpilot316 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Looking for a Garmin 430/530W. Maybe a GTN for the right deal. Have money on hand.
carusoam Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Cjp, could be your lucky day... There are a couple of 430 nonWs also available in the for sale section too... If this works out, consider sending a donation to MS... Best regards, -a- Edited January 17, 2017 by carusoam
N6758N Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 I would buy that 530W mentioned above, $7750 for a 530W is a steal!
Alan Fox Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 I have 530 W , and 430 Garmin units currently..

Called and texted, left a message. After you said you couldnt take a deposit, I tried several times over the course of three days to get your Paypal info to send payment. I finally got a hold of you last night and you said you had sold them. If you have one now. let me know.
Alan Fox Posted January 18, 2017 Report Posted January 18, 2017 This is true , I do not take deposits , I do however have a 530W , the 430 W units were sold prior to you committing to purchase..... Regards ...
Northern Mooniac Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 Just checking to see if there are any 430W or 530W's for sale?
Alan Fox Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 I have 10 430W units coming in , in about 10 days , They are 6400 each , trays , antennas , connectors , all dual voltage.....
Godfather Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Chase (on beechtalk) has the 530 waas for $7750 and he is very easy to work with.
tigers2007 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 I'm having buyers remorse for the new GTN-650 I just bought... it's hard to stomach the overall cost of my project (21AMU) for a 30AMU plane. I might just do the panel and Lynx 9000 only and live with my GNC300XL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

glbtrottr Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 I remember some years back I invested several 10amu's on redoing my panel: gns430, gtx330, gdl69, kfc150, mx20, wx500, jpi, kcs55a, gi106, digital tach and tit, ps engineering CD player etc. fast forward 8 years later and look where we are. The age of avionics lasting forever and all while increasing some value has rapidly changed with garmin's demanded idiocy of ads-b from the government and the advent of tablet goods. Heres the comparison based on a month ago and purchase prices: mx20/traffic: $275 gx60: $500 complete kcs55a: $600 sl70 transponder: $250 electric AI: $300 sl30: $2200 stec 40 w gpss: $2700 installing it in all in my own high wing cessna with the help/supervision of my AI friend? Priceless. With the advent of ForeFlight and other silliness, paying Garmin's ransom seems criminal to me. I cheered Avidyne's use of the same connector tray - brilliant! And if L3 / lynx, freefligt and others can offer a low cost solution, Garmin can go pound sand.

I'm having the same problem deciding weather or not to jump into that pit. One thing you better not forget to do is increase the insurance value of your plane to reflect the investment. If not and you have a gear up or what ever, they will not compensate you for the new radios, the will just own them. Edited March 13, 2017 by nels 1
jetdriven Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 SL30s are going up, around 3K for a good one now. KX-155 support is about ended and the only other option is the new GTX/GTR radios from Garmin but they are expensive. If you find one, you can get a GTN-750 for 12,500$ Which is only 4K more than a 530W but much more advanced.
