Asking $35,000

I thought $35k was the original price?
 
Ahh, I see he must have edited the first post, ok that makes sense.
 
Huh, that's the first time I noticed the asymmetric air intake position.
 
Tough same thing about air intake, sure mine is not displaced, nice plane, would love to have the extra hp, but not looking to start fixing another plane any time soon, I just did my 1000 hr landing gear AD

1000hr gear AD is due in 658 more hrs
 
That seems pretty reasonable. I helped my A&P with it. I have a low hour airframe (2500 hrs.) and not much was required. The previous owner purchased all new bolts and bushings thru Webco before he sold it to me, at the cost of nearly $5000.00. It turned out most everything was still in spec. We replaced all the scissor link bushings and bolts, the swivel pins and the nose gear gear link bushings. So I have a cabinet full of new bushings and bolts for the future. It's time consuming, especially if you have to replace a bunch of bushings and ream them to size. I learned a lot. Good luck on yours.

Sorry for the thread drift, looks like a good buy for a 260. Good luck with the sale!!

Sorry, I meant the landing gear AD... The estimate on ours is $2500 + parts for anything they find.

That is ballpark. It takes me about 18-20 hours base labor to take it apart, measure everything, reinstall, and rig the gear. I would expect a shop that has never, or rarely done one, to take a bit longer. New bushings or other repairs are extra. It is the nose gear that wears the most, and is the most critical.
 
Seems like a good deal, great aircraft.

Good luck!

will you take small children in trade?

The problem with small children is they depreciate like hell in the first 6 weeks. Fresh hatch you can get a quarter mil for a healthy white baby, after 6 weeks though, they get tougher to sell.

How many different cocktails can he make?

Have you considered renting him to bachelors to take to the park as a chick magnet? Won't buy a plane, but might pay for some rental. Kids are better than puppies.

I must be unapproachable, because when i have my son (7 months, super cute), no one walks up to me, but when i had my dalmation/shepard i got approached all the time.

Because you are the kid's father, completely different from having someone else's kid. The target demographic is looking for someone that likes, and hopefully wants, children, not someone that has them. A bachelor with a puppy shows the same traits, but a real live kid is a magnitude in difference. Heck, you could probably get $250hr for a baby, an 8 year old should still bring an hour's rental in a 172 per hour.

Jason, sir, our apologies for hi-jacking your thread. Oops, did I just say "hi-jack"? Yikes, I assume DHS is on their way to kick in my front door and drag me away to Guantanamo Bay.
And the weekend begins well ... :lol:
