How much would a clean 5000 TT airframe, 1900 (past tbo still going strong) bring in this crazy market we are dealing with? If this was your plane, how much would you ask for it?


AOPA Vref says an overhaul is $ 19K... Really?

Looks like Randy doesn't sell his engines for 19K...

Mike, "in this crazy market we are dealing with"... your guess is as good as anyone else's. I have a '63 straight tail, and couldn't begin to guess it's value now (tailwheel project) or later (low-time airworthy). Nobody's ignoring your posts. I suspect none of us have any input that would be of any real value to you.

There aren't that many fastbacks for sale at any given time, so it's extremely hard to "track the market". It's worth whatever you're willing to pay. I know.... that doesn't help much! frown

Mike
4JY is a 1977 3700 TTAF and 1950 SMOH, 400STOH full IFR with ok paint, I advertised it for $15,900 (2 calls) I would take 12,000 today if someone offered.My guess if i had to sell the price would have to be 7-8000 to get rid of it.
I am glad nobody wants a high engine time 150.

John
p.s. A quality overhaul is $12-19000 depending on new accessories and including new cylinders

That helps, Thanks Carl. I have a friend with one for sale and another friend looking to buy. The owner is asking 13K. Vref was something like 4K. I haven't seen anybody sell their clean flying 150 for 4K yet...

When I was looking for my 150, I found Vref didn't coincide with the market at all and was useless for me. Lots of research over several months on Barnstormers and Trade-A-Plane and the like gave me a much better feel for what I found to be a reasonable price.

It seems to me Vref is on the low side now. A couple of years ago, it seemed it was always higher than the market. Before I would sell for $4k, I think I would part mine out.
