081 proposal from EE

[Steve Gordon]

Considering SMOH it is exactly the same price as 976.  At $15,000 for overhaul over 2,000 hours that's $7.50/hr.  With 400 hours remaining that's $3,000 value left in the engine which is precisely how much more they are asking for 081.

I don't care about the paint unless it affects the airframe integrity (corrosion).  If it's a basic 172 we purchase it just needs to be functional and cheap.  I understand if some of you feel otherwise.

The financing opportunity on 081 is good.  It alleviates the need for a complex membership structure.

You know, I seem to remember that 081's engine was shipped out for maintenance not more than a year ago.  Metal in the oil.  Makes me wonder if they did an overhaul then.  They couldn't have put 1600 hrs on it in less than a year, right?

According to Sean tonight 081 could be purchased for 38,000 with 15% down and 8.5% for 60 months. 081 has about 5750 TTAF and 1600 SMOH on the engine. I have no idea what it has for equipment nor do I know the condition. I do not know anything about the history or logs. We all know it desperately needs paint which is a 10-12,000 cost and substantial down time on the aircraft – maybe 2 months.  
 
Let me know your thoughts on this.
