What do we think of an Alarus CH2000 as a primary trainer and as a weekend
flyer? I've run into a possible opportunity to buy a used CH2000 for
possibly well under market value (at auction, so it really depends on where
the bidding goes). I also have a couple of guys who might be interested in
partnering on it (one a returning student, the other a retired bizjet
pilot).

I'm a zero-hour student, currently working through ground school. I've been
thinking about maybe buying a PA-28-140 next year to train in and for
general flying later, but if the Alarus is a decent plane and I can get a
deal on it...? Can anyone give me more reasons to think yea or nay?

I seriously doubt you will get the aircraft for below market price at
an open auction. You may get it cheep, which may be exactly what it is
worth. There really are no "great deals" on aircraft. Planes sell for
what they are worth and no one is going to sell you a plane for less
than the guy next to you is willing to pay for it.
