Both of the above airplanes have been in the club gallery for years, when looking for photos of an airplane advertised without photos, always check the club gallery, we often have a photo.

I recall seeing the brown aerobat advertised for an outrageous price a few years ago. Most expensive 150-152 I've seen? A club member had a 1978 152 with 10 hours total time. It had been stored in an air-conditioned warehouse since new. He was asking $75K for it, and it stayed on the market for more than 2 years, then sold somewhere in the $65K range.

Good looking plane.

If hes asking that for that, then I am going to put 19J up for 200,000 and/or trade strait up for T210.

the owner did send me high resolution photos yesterday. looks very clean. paint job is i think a price deduction. IMHO. though it IS an aerobat. i didn't talk to him but over email he said over 60 invested, wants 65. vref puts it at 43. 512 hours on the airframe. i accidentally deleted the email with his attachments (stupid wireless mouse and vista been acting up) i asked him to resend, i will post them when i get them.

John,
Here's a thread on the Williams' Aerobat they bought a couple of years ago. I believe it had 360 hours on it.

John, are you seriously considering this airplane? Because it's "new"? Don't! It only looks new!

Parking an airplane, even indoors, does not stop the process of corrosion and deterioration unless it was stored in a vacuum bottle in Antarctica! Even if this plane was worth $65K, or even $43K (It is not), there are still multitudes of components that will need repair or replacement once you start flying her again. Stagnant time is particularly hard on the engine, which likely has layers of rust on all exposed internal surfaces, probably including camshaft and lifter faces, and certainly some degree of corrosion damage within the cylinders.

I could paint a cowchip and make it look pretty, but it would still be a cowchip! Be very careful of this one, regardless of price.

not really. for high 20s i would. smile i do not like the paint. smile i am interested in the ellis 152 shown here http://www.cessna150152.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=136609&page=1#Post136609
i am skeptical of the low time, but it is all original, and would expect an oil analysis after a few hours of running, and or a cylinder taken off so the internals could be looked at, during the annual and ifr inspections. i would have to fly it home from california to indiana so the engine is my top concern.

looks nice, other than the paint scheme IMO should have been kept original.

Nice.

It may be an odd color (or colour for Matthew's sake ;)) but it looks clean, and in good condition.

There is dirt on the left arm rest and the strut fairings are not painted!!!!!

massive deductions for that!!!

I probably would not pay more than low 30's for it.

But thats just me!
