That falls right in line with what I've always heard regarding airplanes sales...
You don't make money when you sell the plane. You make your money when you buy it.
Of course, you could do like I did. Buy a 152 for 16,500, lease it back to a flight school and insure it for 26,000, make 20,000 over 3 years with the leaseback revenue, then let them crash it (make sure no one gets hurt), and collect on the insurance. But, I don't recommend it.
