It's still just a 150 with a nice gadget in it. It ain't worth what they are asking.

But, he only needs ONE buyer willing to pay the price and who's to say someone won't step up and write the check?

If you ask top price you at least need to clean up the merchandise.

Granted, the transponder is ancient and the door panels clash, but not a horrible airplane. No, I wouldn't pay the asking price either but I think this 150 should be towards the high end of the range. I'd gladly sell two 150s for what he's asking for one, but neither are worth as much as this listing. Heck, for $37k I'd sell two 150s [ cessnasale.posterous.com]and return $7k.

But, he only needs ONE buyer willing to pay the price and who's to say someone won't step up and write the check? No way I'd ever get out what I sunk into mine. If I ever did have to sell (no plans to, but "if") I'd price it reasonably and take the loss. No way around it: a 40+ year old 100HP C-150 just ain't worth forty grand. By the same token, unless you're a mechanic, there's no way to restore one for much less than forty grand (at least not from my experience). | | |
