Do you feel differently?

Please see previous post...hey guys & gals....Last fall I found Tony's 1965E and fell in love with it...really wanted to buy it but wasn't current and wanted to save up cash for it. To see what he went thru selling his plane see this forum Buy & Sell, change at the bottom display options to active last 6 months, see page 3, "Decided to sell my Cessna 150E" by Tony. This was a beautiful plane with lots of options like heavy -duty nose-gear, long-range tanks, TTAF 2800, SMOH 750, IFR and it took from June to December to sell it and it had a fresh annual when he listed it.

To see a 150 that sold in 6 days go to page 2, "Juliet is for sale, priced to move quickly". "The other Matt" put $8,000 into it shortly for it sold. It's annual was 2 months before.

Both the 65E first above and the 67G were asking $15,000.

I think living in Kennesaw, GA is a great selling point to mention in your description because buyers shy away from 150s that have been flown next to the ocean because of corrosion problems. Also when people see the annual is not current, they immediately think why not and like me consider it a red flag. Advertise in as many places as possible. Barstormers,Aircraft Shopper Online, AeroTrader etc. The 1500 SMOH may hurt as well looking at the 65E with only 750...It makes me think ok at 50 hours a year, in 6 years I would be looking at a low ball major overhaul of $12,000 to $14,000.

Anyway, I hope this helps and good luck....boy I love these 150s!
