Any advice as to whether this plane is priced right??


I'd say it's way too high. You've got a mid-time airframe with only about 400
hours to go before TBO on the engine. Mediocre paint and only decent interior.
The avionics are only fair, though they *are* pretty new.

Ten years ago, a 150 like this would've brought *maybe* $17,000. I can't believe
the value has nearly doubled in that space of time.

Nine years ago, I sold my '69 model for $13,000 with higher airframe time, lower
engine time, better paint & interior, and equivalent avionics. Not the same
plane, but it might give you a data point.
