Well, I guess I'll buck the trend here,, It looks fairly nice,, to me the radio's are a bit dated and that to me drives the price down a bit. I know everyone wants a good deal,, and I know you can buy them for less then the 33,000. But looking a many planes in the past few years,, I haven't seen many with a low time engine,, paint that looks in excellent shape, and an interior to go along with it. There are 2 ways to do this,, buy one at the lower end,, most don't have a good setup on radios, either the paint is not, or the engine has more time on it,, so buy low,, get the plane up to what this one looks like and you'll be into it for more then the 33,000 asking for this one. That is, unless someone does the work themselves, but most can't do that. So, my thoughts are that this is a bit overpriced due to older radios. 33,000, I wouldn't pay that, around the 30,000,, well if I was looking this one would be worth my attention. Fred,, a different way of looking at it. I know you've got a nice one,, take your original costs,, add in the panel upgrades you've got,, I'm not sure where your engine hours are,, but if it's in the low time hours I bet you're pushing that 33,000. I know I am,, plus some. Now why would I do this? Well, because I like it the way I've got it. Things to watch for,, newer paint hey,, was it done by a good paint shop,, fully stripped and all that good stuff. A quicky paint job looks good, but just will not stand up against time very well. Engine,, done by a firm that is reputable,, otherwise things that should get changed out aren't. Serviceable parts just means they are okay to use when inspected,, but they can be 98% gone,, but still within tolerance. New interior,, now what does that mean,, old parts fixed up and repainted to look new? many call that new,, but it ain't. This typically does have a shorter life span then,, all new plastics put in. This stuff seems to get brittle with age. Corrosion is a biggy,, and at times difficult to spot. Lastly,, I'll wait till Rob posts more info about his import and the problems he's having currently with his prop,, but in a nutshell, does the hardware listed as installed, serial numbers match and when was it last looked at.
