The whole tail was replaced because it was bent forward of the tail, that's a lot of damage. Plus the engine and prop were trashed after hitting a light. It was already on a salvage site. With the right mechanic you can fix just about anything. Besides without the in person inspection it is hard to estimate the damage... |

Exactly, so you aren't finding a steal on a plane on anauctionsite. It's no different than the million other 172's out there for sale.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Which brings up a good point... If you see a lot of bidders for a particual plane, that is an indication of a good deal. Chances are that the airplane/helicopter/glider has been inspected by various bidders and is in good shape. The safest bet is for you - the potential buyer to check it out in person. The ideal case scenario is if you are buying from someone you know really well and that person has exactly what you want. The chances of that happening are slim. That is why I will continue hoping for an online auction site that will rival Trade-a-Plane in the number of offerings per aircraft. On another topic, I would also like the see the same thing happen for cars. eBay motors simply dominates the transportation market in general... It would be nice to have a few other choices...don't you think? |
