Why do you think this airplane is "super low priced"?

Why would it be priced that low if it were airworthy?


What does the price of a plane have to do with its airworthiness?
When did the FAA include price of the airplane in its definition of
airworthiness?


What FAR requires a plane to be Airworthy to sell? Sounds like the
owner was willing to sell a project plane cheaply. The fact that he
wasn't upfront about it is annoying, but sadly, the norm. When I was
looking at Champs 4 out of 5 were not technically airworthy according
to ADs. That doesn't make them illegal to sell, or a bad deal.

The original poster never implied the effort to sell the a/c was illegal.
Whether or not something is a bad deal is up to the seller and buyer to
decide. What he did warn people about was that the one seller he met was
particularly egregious in his attempts to misrepresent the aircraft.
Apparently there are a few people around here over whose heads this all
went...
