I suppose that some of the 150-152 members bought their planes new and still fly them. But I expect that most have planes that they bought used. In my case, I bought a 36 year old plane. If my grandson buys a 36 year old LSA, what will it cost compared to the 36 year old Cessna 150 that I bought?
You can buy a 152 today for approximately what it sold new for. A 150 today for double to triple it's original sales price. If history is any indication, then I suspect that the story would be about the same for the 162? Assuming personal finances remain unchanged, If you cannot afford to purchase 162 today. You can forget about them depreciating enough to be able to afford one tomorrow.
