Anybody selling

[William Munney]

Possibly in a year or so if you don’t buy by then.  PM me for details.

Hello Billy - What are you looking for?  A lot of us love our Ovations, but wonder if we should switch.  Some long for turbos, some for pressurization, etc.  If I knew you wanted my exact airplane and were willing to pay, I might do a deal.  But if you want a different airplane...   Do you want TKS, AC, G1000, fresh paint and interior, etc. and what's your budget?  OK to be unsure, but put it out there if you want some engagement.

Best,

Ed

Looking for an early ovation.  Don't care to much about the panel.  But would like an engine monitor.  Don't need TKS or Prop anti ice.  Budget is 175-200k.  I have found to in that range and one with new overhaul at 195K.

Early Ovation is lower horsepower unless the 310 HP STC with the Acclaim Prop is installed.  That is a big factor in value.  I am not sure the STC is available anymore, someone else can chime in, but regardless, this should be a major factor when selecting and pricing an earlier Ovation.  

Then ask yourself if a Screaming Eagle (Eagle with the 310 HP STC) is not just as good for your purposes, especially considering you are saying that an advanced panel is not a priority for you.
