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.

If you look hard enough 10 out of 10 airplanes are unairworthy. Nowhere did
the buyer justify his claim the plane was not airworthy. His post sounded
to me like he seriously failed in his questioning before looking at the
plane then tried to blame the seller for his poor questioning. His
assumptions were based on what he thought he heard and wanted to hear not on
what the seller said. Jim Weir hit the nail squarely on the head on this
one.
