Default Why are so many Stemme S10-VT motorgliders for sale?

Well, I'm certainly not the expert (yet), but I would imagine that price
is directly proportional to service history, age, finish, equipment, and
engine/propeller hours. Though I paid at the high end of the used
market, mine, though 14 years old, had been kept in a hangar in a dry
temperate climate, had no more than 150 airframe hours, and about 50
engine hours. It still looks like a brand new ship. I've seen some
others that, though still very nice, look older but, given panel and
interior updates would fetch a much higher price. I think it would be
very xost effective to buy an older Stemme and update it with new
instruments and interior.

Dan,

Prices for second-hand S10's range from 75.000 euros to over 200.000 dollars.
I'm wondering what might explain the large differences between such prices?

regards,

Roel
