Cheap airplane not so cheap

Wait, you mean that Gulfstream III with hush kits that’s for sale for only $200k isn’t a good deal? Say it ain’t so…

In 2004 I was offered an HS125 for free if I would fly it away from its resting place. It was an easy nothankew.

:D
 
Oh boy. I once bought a cheap plane. The first annual bill was more than the purchase price.

Too common. And that's guaranteed to happen if you get the airplane for nothing:)
 
As a lowly C-172 renter, every now and then I daydream flipping through Controller.com listings. This morning came across N878L, a late-model fixed gear pressurized Lancair. Not "cheap" by any means, but seems quite capable compared to similarly priced certified options, unless I'm overlooking something (i.e. the cost of maintaining the pressurization system).
