There is a 1980's C172P with 9000 hours TTSN on my local field. Most
things look good on this plane, except for its high Airframe time. It is hardly a looker, but I am looking for a first-timer airplane for building time and experience. It will also be kept online with the FBO on leaseback, thus, it will average 400 hours/year. It has a 400hr SMOH remanufactured lycoming engine. Asking price is in the low 60's. I am just curious to hear other opinions on this airplane. I realize the plane has lived a tough life as a trainer. in fact, it has 2 major repairs after bad landings in its damage history, but the repairs were done at reputable shops. it has been online with 2 reputable FBO's its entire life. My main issue is probably with the high airframe time. I hope to build time and experience in this plane and then probably sell in 3 to 5 years. The engine will reach its overhaul time in probably another 4 years, about when I want to sell it. It will then have 10,600 hours at that point, which will have exceeded the 5 figure TTSN number threshold, which might have a psychological effect for resale. I appreciate any thoughts you might share! Jae |
