Royson and Jeff, we do understand each other. Please keep in mind that Justina and I still drive a 1971 pickup and 1979 Suburban. We camp in a tent. And we still use dial up Internet. They do the jobs that we require so we just cannot justify paying more. We did pay out $16,000 for our Jetta six years ago. But it has returned us with 60 MPG. Our one extravagance is our airplane. Though, it does provide opportunities which would not be possible without it. And, we paid less for it then most brand ground transportation. So, in the end, I guess it all boils down to attitude, priorities and point of view?
But, I do need to question one thing that you said Jeff? If somebody that can afford $110,000 for an airplane such as the 162 without going into major debt is considered "middle class." I wonder where that puts Justina and me??
I truely wish that Cessna would have put less into "glitz" so to possibly make the 162 more affordable to more people.
