Skywarrior Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 I'm guessing Walter winters in Naples, FL, and goes back to Onekama in the summer. Probably retired, lots of money. Maybe just wants to unload the plane quickly. Chuck M. Quote
Steve Dawson Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Doesn't this plane have a damaged wing? Possibly cost $15,000 to fix it which may put it in the similar value as others the same time and wear Quote

richardheitzman Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Posted May 9, 2011 no mention of damage in the ads. That is a great deal unless there is something not mentioned in the ad. Quote
Ashe Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 I called the guy about this plane on Friday. Other than needing paint and having outdated avionics, and perhaps the fact that the last corrosion proofing was almost 20 years ago, the plane sounded pretty decent, especially for the price. He even had O&N bladders in it. The owner was an older gentleman who needed to get money out of the plane in short order. He didn't want to use a broker so he priced it aggressively. He also didn't really want to be subject to the delays of having an independant pre-buy. He was looking for a cash buyer. Incidentally, the plane sold to the first guy who called about it. I know because I was caller #2. I suspect we'll see it again in a few weeks with a fresh paint job and a $30K higher price. Quote

Ashe Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 And it's back. He didn't want to use a broker, but it ended up w/a broker all the same. Not that I'm faulting them for trying for a profit, but for a cool $13K, I'd expect them to add some sort of value to the plane, which it doesn't look like they have.

GeorgePerry Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 It really bugs me when folks put planes online and don't disclose everything. Really? In this day and age with instant information availible at anyone's fingertips and the closeness of the Mooney community do they really think they can "sneak one past" a potential buyer. Due diligence will almost always keep buyers out of trouble... Quote
