I never knew these existed. Pressurized but not very fast. Only 49 built. Anyone ever seen one of these in the wild? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuji/Rockwell_Commander_700
The ad might be a scam or maybe just selling to collect hangar rent? $6038?

Seen Embry Riddle’s back in the early 90s in Daytona. Back when they had a very diverse fleet.

Edit: now that I think of it, I think they had a Cessna Crusader.

I remember seeing those, and they appealed to me as an option for Cloud Nine back in the day. Saw a couple for sale and reasonably priced. But ultimately not something that probably makes sense for most people vs. the more common options.

No doubt a scam. The same one appears to be for sale on Craigslist Annapolis for $6,402.

This is a common Craigslist scam for cars and RVs -- list an unbelievably smokin' deal, and someone will bite. Didn't know they did it for airplanes too.

The scammers have switched from cars to other areas because Craigslist charges a buck or two for a car ad now. The "trailers for sale" section is full of them. They're harvesting emails.
 
Funny. The airplane I eventually bought was the one I saw in a Craigslist scam. I found the registered owner to alert him the photos of his airplane were being used in a scam and he knew about it.

Once I had a good connection with him, I decided to buy his airplane over a few others that were not as appealing.
 
That aircraft is actually listed for sale on ebay, and if I remember correctly, it has been for sale for quite a while. These craigslist listings are definitely a scam.
