We have all looked at ramp rag 150s that are for sale in the 18-24k ranges, they never fly and have been for sale so long the orange faded from the for sale sign. At one of the airports I utilize is a late model (M)150 that belongs to a club, flies on a regular basis and is a very forgettable plane (if it blocked the gas pump during our clinton flyin no one would remember it being there). It has been offered for sale at $7,500. No takers, today someone told me they offered $5000 for it. I can't wait to see if it sells. I was just wondering, how cheap is cheap?

Interesting...after a while they are probably worth that much for the parts alone...
After all, a plane selling for $5,000 that needs $20,000 to become airworthy is really a $25,000 airplane in the end.

MM Chortle! Oh dear! Let's not extrapolate, but I cannot resist A $15000 plane that needs $3-$5000 a year to STAY airworthy comes to mind. Is it, after, say, ten years, a $45,000-$65,000 plane? Hmm. Here's how to figure what kind of plane you have: X = p + yn Where X is the dollar adjective, as in "a $25,000 plane;" P is the Purchase Price; Y is the number of years you have kept/are keeping it, and n is the outgo per year to keep it airworthy. This stunt is done by professionals; Do not try this at home!
