How much did you buy it for and how much could you sell it for today?

I paid $28,500. Since owning it I have added:

Strikefinder $5000
Whelan Comet Strobes $1400
Garmin 327X Transponder $2400
New Paint and Glass $12,000
Major Engine Repair $13,000
Garmin GPSMap 196 $1000
Bose X Headset $1000
and many, many, many other smaller items (step kit, new vents and visors,
EGT
guage, carb temp guage, 4-place intercom,
inertial shoulder harnesses, firebottle, and, well, you get the idea

I am TOLD (and using the many, many aircraft evaluative services and
websites
including AOPA's and others) it would retail around $42,000 in the
condition
and with the time and equipment it has. I wouldn't even consider it.

Paid $28.5K, added major equipment of $33.8, now can sell for $42K.

Wouldn't it be great if you could do the same thing with your CAR.

Recalculate your costs with the final sell value and see what your hourly
comes to.

I wonder what it would be with a newer, or much newer unit. The newer (late
1980's on up) are not _depreciating_, they're _appreciating_!!

I was looking at a 1994 Commander 114B that costs more now ($259K) than it
did new in 1994 ($245k).
