There is a 1980's C172P with 9000 hours TTSN on my local field. Most
things look good on this plane, except for its high Airframe time. It
is hardly a looker, but I am looking for a first-timer airplane for
building time and experience. It will also be kept online with the FBO
on leaseback, thus, it will average 400 hours/year. It has a 400hr SMOH
remanufactured lycoming engine. Asking price is in the low 60's.

I appreciate any thoughts you might share!

The high airframe time is not the main problem. Really.

The problem is you want to lease it back. That is where you get to pay the
maintenance for all the screw-ups of all the students and renters that will
fly your aircraft. I hope you have very deep pockets.

My advice......RUN
