    Not that long ago you could buy at least two for that money, maybe three. What's this thing been doing for 37 years? Averaging around 34 hours a year. Corrosion? Nothing spectacular about the stack either. Now compared to that Grumman I'd probably lean towards that, the Tiger.

    The Luscombe is very well done and if it passes a very thorough annual done by an outside AI well versed in them , would be a very fair buy. Lots of fun. The stinson would also be a good buy if it checked out. Nice airplane to fly.

    That Luscombe looks to be a pretty good deal.

    The only deal I see is the Stinson. Heck I've been trying to sell my Grumman for $16,500.00 with no takers.

    A 49k 152 with 1125TT on an decades old engine and a mediocre panel...and don't look know BUT THEY'VE JUST LOWERED THE PRICE BY 10K!!!

    What am I missing? That looks like a 20k plane. Maybe 25k because the interior and paint are decent.

    That 430 equipped Tiger does look like a good deal though, especially if you can get him down a little.

    Sorry but your not or you would know the Luscombe, 85 hp ,in nice shape , would bring the asking price. If it were an f model, it would bring more, this is a late model with the improved gear.

    Apparently to you a good deal means getting asking price?? Yes the Luscombe is priced appropriate as well as the SD, the others seem over priced. The only one I would consider a good deal is the Stinson. You get a beautiful 4 place classic for less than an 85 hp 2 seat Luscombe.

    The stinson is a great airplane but the Franklin engine is a major drawback due to parts availability. If it had the 180 lycoming conversion it would be a great buy.
