LSA Used Market

[Charles Talleyrand]

Right now one can buy a reasonable C-150 for around $20,000. Anyone
wanna guess when reasonable used LSAs will be available for the same
price?

Reasonable ones are $13K or so. For $20K it better have a 430 in it and
low hours.

Probably when they too are 30 years old.

They already are. Ercoupes, C-140s, etc. are available for that
price, and a generous person might call them reasonable (condition).

Oh, do you mean purpose-built LSAs? Maybe never, maybe
decades. They'd have to depreciate $80K and displace existing
LSA-qualified aircraft.

C140s do not fit in the LSA category and only the early model Ercoupes do.

Cessnas, correct, they were screwed by the FAA. The early model
Ercoupes (415-C and -C/D models) are the vast majority of Coupes made,
4000-5000, but perhaps half that number now in service.

Perhaps not. There is no profit in making the old fleet more valuable.
Since the object of the rulemaking was to create a new market for new airplanes,
I imagine that Cessna got exactly what they wanted.
