The asking prices have really jumped lately. Now it seems like mid-20s is
the low-end price for a decent one Don't know if people are actually
getting that price though.


There is such a huge difference in asking price vs real price that it's
almost worth ignoring the asking price. I'd love to see a way to post sold
vs asking prices for people so their expectations are within reason.

I just sold my 0-200 equipped 415D for 19,500. It sold 3 days after I posted
an ad in the Ercoupe Owners Club news letter.
It was in excellent condition, however as a "D" model it was NOT Sport Pilot
qualified.
There was no quibble on the price which makes me think I sold it too low.

My only reason for selling was the need for more useful load.

I just wrote a check for a PA22-150.

Ironically, it probably would have been worth more if it could carry less.

Btw, what does the O-200 do to the useful load of a 415D anyway?

The O-200 is within a pound or two of the C-85.

Ok, but does the 0-200 STC increase the gross weight of the plane?

No not in itself. However in order to install an 0-200, the plane must be
converted to, or be a "D" model which has 1400# gross weight rather than the
1260 of the "C" or "C-D"
Coupes.
