Greetings!
I have been looking to purchase an airplane and have noticed a side note during the search : Entertainment! When I talk to some perspective seller, as they tell me about thier 'creampuff' airplane I am at the SAME time loading the DATA of thier airplane into Vref or the NAAA valuator (located on trade -a plane's web site). With SMUG PRIDE, they tell me they want 25+ grand for the airplane but when I tell them that Vref or NAAA states the plane is only worth 13 or 14 grand they go insane! They get angry, foaming at the mouth, bad mouthing Vref and NAAA on and on and on! It's AMUSING! I am starting to have FUN! Another Fun thing to do is when they try to pawn off a TOP 'overhaul' when I tell them Vref or NAAA will provide no credit for the REPAIR they go insane again! When they try to pawn off an 'engine overhaul' done by Fred the A&P, I ask them if the Acessories( Mags, Carb, Vac pump, Alternator,etc, the engine mounts/rubber changed, engine mount sent out for inspection overhaul? we're done at the same time?? They get meek and very quiet! you GOT THEM! then you find out the Acessories have THOUSANDS of hours on them! never done! so much for the 'overhaul' Acessories going bad can kill you just as fast as an engine outage and they can cost BIG BUCKS to repair and overhaul ( now you see why the owner did not send them out during the engine 'overhaul' ) not to mention the LABOR to R and R them. And they think they should get TOP DOLLAR for the airplane ! Another fun thing is telling them that you are going to get the Airplane Appraised FIRST before you even look at the airplane ( it cost about 300 bucks but is WELL worth it!! : do a google search for more info ) As far as I am concerned that sets the value! If he disagrees then he gets an appraiser then we split the Difference. That's when they go into high ORBIT! and I start to laugh that's real entertainment! |

I know this is just a newsgroup, but I wonder why you have chosen to troll here. You are not a purchaser and you don't look very wise, except in the guise of a wiseass. You started out with lies and there's little reason to afford you any credibility now. Go bug the guys at your local FBO if they'll put up with you. |
