What you've got to do is,, find one that you think you might like in the US,, add 22% for exchange, plus add 5% for GST, and then add in another $5000 to $8000 for the import inspection/registration.
I'm not sure I would factor in $5,000 to $8,000 for the import.
Did it cost me $6000...yes it did...however I think those are things that would have needed to be done anyway...regardless of where the aircraft came from.
I forget all of the things we did now (no logs on me)...but one of the larger items was replacing virtually all of the control cables...which were in terrible condition.
Yes...get the airplane you like...it really doesn't make much financial sense...but hey, it seems like the best things in life don't make financial sense!
