: What does the price of a plane have to do with its airworthiness? Maybe the fact that price is usually a measure of "suitability for a purpose"? Really? On what planet, Tom? When did the FAA include price of the airplane in its definition of airworthiness? It doesn't, "economic reality" does. Boy, you sure have an active imagination. Of course, this only applies to the resale price of an airplane, doesn't it? It doesn't apply to the acquisition price, because then, according to your rules, anything goes, doesn't it? Capitalistic airworthiness at its best? (Geez...you should have learned this before entering elementary school) I missed Dumb Rationalizations 101. On purpose. |

On what planet, Tom? Ya, I had this same thought. Price rarely is a measure of suitability for a purpose. I agree with ya. In fact, suitability, quality, price, and popularity often have little to do with each other. When did the FAA include price of the airplane in its definition of airworthiness?

Accordingly, if we run with his logic, there are never deals to be had in aviation. In fact, we can ignore every social issue which affects mankind such as money problems, loss of interest, medical problems, or desire to rapidly acquire another possession. Nope, paying absoluete top dollar is the only way to aquire anything of worth. I wonder if he purchased anything other than new, and paid above sticker to boot? If he did, he clearly got ripped off. Just having some fun with the obvious, which was seemingly overlooked in the grandparent message. Cheers, Greg |

Sounds like the owner was willing to sell a project plane cheaply. The fact that he wasn't upfront about it is annoying, but sadly, the norm. When I was looking at Champs 4 out of 5 were not technically airworthy according to ADs. That doesn't make them illegal to sell, or a bad deal. -Robert |

His post sounded to me like he seriously failed in his questioning before looking at the plane then tried to blame the seller for his poor questioning. His assumptions were based on what he thought he heard and wanted to hear not on what the seller said. Jim Weir hit the nail squarely on the head on this one. |

Kalifornia's? Ya, I had this same thought. Price rarely is a measure of suitability for a purpose. I agree with ya.
