I want to buy a plane by year-end but they're not making it easy.

I don't have my ticket yet -- and I'm really committed because I want to
buy
my own plane to train and fly -- and I want to take advantage of the tax
write-off about to expire at year end.

I've been at this since August.
But, hell, they're not making it easy.

No, they are not, and not just because of your problem, either. Most of
these companies that promised airplanes for delivery late this year are
putting off their customers until next year due to production and/or
certification issues -- which creates a huge tax problem for many. In
fact,
there is already talk of class action lawsuits, even while the aircraft
manufacturers are lobbying to get the government to extend the tax
benefits
to aircraft ordered, but not delivered this year. It is a huge mess and it
affects all the manufacturers.

So even if you were able to get someone to let you demo the plane, my
guess
is you would find it impossible to take delivery this year. Even if the
dealer had a plane on the lot (I think Galvin has a nice DA-40 available),
you would probably have trouble getting financing arranged before the end
of
the year.


To get bonus depreciation, all you have to do is order this year, and take
delivery next year. The depreciation will be in the year its put in
service.

You can get approved for financing in under 24 hours.

The challenge will be creating an LLC if you need one. I hear the aviation
specialist attourneys are all working overtime.

Strangely, our original poster has disappeared, so either he gave up, or got
what he wanted.

Did you miss my post? I am sure I can get you a demo with a couple
manufacturers. Tell me what city you are in, and I will try.
