RLCarter Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I saw that on FB, reminded me of an ad in Cycle News back in the 80’s…Headline read “You like sex? Then said so do I, the wife says it goes or the motorcycle goes…then detailed the bike for sale….. it was a current model with less than 1000 miles…… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steingar Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 If she really loved him she'd accept the airplane. The guy is in an abusive relationship and should get out right away. I wish I was kidding. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_elliott Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 No he is not. Scott is a geek. He has MIT and Rice .edu email addresses. This is him being funny. He teaches how to be a chief technology officer at Rice. He invented ZORK, the real mans computer game. He did not do well in high school humor class, however 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PT20J Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Still the price is interesting. I have a low time (1450 hr) really clean 1994 M20J with a 250 hr factory rebuilt IO-360-A3B6, original interior, original paint, Aspen PFD, GNS 430W, GTX 345 ADS-B in and out. Jimmy Garrison appraised it at $170K for insurance. I’m having a complete glass retrofit including G3X and GFC 500 done and asked Jimmy what it would be worth and he said maybe $190 but not many buyers at that price.

amillet Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 So, your $75K avionics upgrade only increases the value by $20K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandelay Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 So, your $75K avionics upgrade only increases the value by $20K? He’s replacing an Aspen with the G3X, so upside is not going to be as much if you replaced steam with glass. Upside of gfc 500 depends on how capable the existing autopilot is.

PT20J Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 31 minutes ago, amillet said: So, your $75K avionics upgrade only increases the value by $20K? I think so. There is an upper limit to what people are willing to pay for a particular old airplane. At some point it makes sense to spend a little more for a newer long body. My plan is to keep the plane for ten years and at that point it would be more difficult to sell if I kept the GNS and KAP 150. And this way I get to enjoy the newer stuff. But I thought long and hard about putting $80K into a $170K airplane. Skip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amillet Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Well, that makes me feel better about the first year depreciation on the $80K truck we just took delivery of after a 4 month wait from ordering 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Given the current airplane market, it’s probably easier to find a new wife than a new plane, just saying…. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ones of either are hard to find and you have to "jump" on them when you do. Most will be above your initial budget, but if you get the right one, will work out in the long run. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
