Default financing

I'm a new pilot thinking about buying an old plane. What are typical
interest rates and terms for financing? Looking for a cessna 152 or
172.

Grab a copy of Trade-A-Plane. The aircraft lenders all advertise there and
post their rates, etc. All will be the same within a fraction of of a
percent.

None of us can guess what terms you could get without evaluating your
credit. Please post a balance sheet, and we'll help you out.

My dad did a Home equity line of credit loan also. That seems like the
way to do it. (If you own a home)

Contact Mike Jacobs at http://www.1st-of-pryor.com/ . He knows
airplane financing and also runs one of the better Piper listservs.

Looks like the current rates are between 7.99% and 8.25%, depending
on the plane and loan amount.

We just financed through AOPA (MBNA, actually) on our PA28-180. Got 7.5% for
15 years. Could have been 7.25% if we would have paid a $200 closing fee.

You can get home equity loans for 3.5 to 4%. The rate is variable but
probably won't get to the above rates for quite a few years.
