Holy cow, Cessna 150 prices are all over the place! The club classifieds and ASO are pretty predictable, but Trade-A-Plane has HUGE fluctuations. Some planes that seem nicer than mine are priced lower, and others that don't seem as nice are priced higher.
Here's my dilemma: most of the planes comparable to mine have pretty paint, which seems to be more important to many buyers than engine time, interior, etc.
I'm inclined to leave my paint as is (old, cracked, faded), so people who know what they're looking at can see what they're getting.
However, if I can spend a few hundred dollars on a "hangar paint job" to impress a larger field of prospective buyers... should I?
I've always figured a crummy paint job is worse than no paint at all.
