This would prove what besides the ability to forge a logbook page? Fine, I have no time in a Cherokee Six.

Touchdown! Greaser!
so....don't get use to 1,300 ft/min....once loaded it will come down to 700-800 fpm 135-140kts and 17gph fuel burn.

so....what's the delta in scrap value....vs airworthy value?...for this deal vs others?
I bet the scrap value is less than $25K....that's a $20K loss right there.
Buy the other one.....and re-sell it for what you paid in a few years.[/QUOTE
The days of buying a plane and turning it around in five years for what you paid for it or more are gone. The more you pay the more you will loose.

Well....two years ago I sold my Six (purchased in 2005) for $10k more than I purchased....and bought a newer, better equipped (GNS530W & STec 60-2 AP), Bonanza for less than I sold my Six.....The days of buying a plane and turning it around in five years for what you paid for it or more are gone.

It can be done....if you're patient.

Tom, stop posting stuff like this. I want a Six so bad it's not even funny. Trying to hold out for 2 more years then I'll be in a position to get something nice and actually afford to use it!

In two years you could have flown off 2-300 hours and be ready to have this old bird ready to build the aircraft you really want, piece by piece and payday to payday,
Geterdone!
You keep putting it off until you can afford it, you will never do it.
This aircraft is like finding a mature woman in a gunny sack. clean her up she'll serve you well. this 6/300 has been 135 all it's life maintained to a higher standard than many beauty queens you'll find at twice the price.

That's so true, you can't find a nice aircraft at a low price clean it up make it safe to fly, and flip it and make traveling expenses.

Yea I get what you are saying but flying the club 172 right now is getting the job done, cheaply. Meanwhile I'm aggressively saving so that I can buy one outright. I'm young and not a big fan of debt, with a cheap plane in the hangar already there's no need to rush. It's not like this is holding me from flying.
I know exactly the one I want, I grew up in it and we sold it to a family friend, all it did was move three houses down. He's looking to move to something else in the next couple of years and I plan to be there when he's ready

When you have a plan, let's hope it works.
