Especially if it's the latest model (or close to it).


NOT TRUE my RV-6 is almost 15 years old and is still worth twice what I
built it for. I know of an RV-6A that just sold for more than $80,000
and was nothing really special. All the response I see to this are from
people that do not or are not around the RV crowd. A friend not to long
ago paid $40,000 for a plain Jane RV-4 that was built in 1986 and has
offers for it at that price when he gets his Rocket flying.
