My point was, $25,000 for an ordinary airplane with ordinary radios is a rip off. For $25,000 there needs to be something spectacular - which there isn't. The engine is mid time and has a new-ish top overhaul.
Now - the seller is willing to negotiate price - excellent. Talk him down into the range that this airplane is worth (no more than $20,000!) I paid $19,000 for a plane with good radios, 287 hours on the engine (AND cylinders), a nice interior and excellent paint.
Jeff,
I wouldn't be so judgemental on someones asking price, granted there are a few exceptions out there. You failed to mention you now have over 60k in your 19k airplane and it's not all been for equipment upgrades. You have had several very expensive maintenance issues, including one more big one on the horizon...
One, generally, gets what they pay for.
