081 proposal from EE

[Bob Irving]

1600 hrs is what Sean says. What Sean says is not always accurate. There
could be a difference in nomenclature here, too. An engine can receive a top
overhaul at nnn hrs but that does not change the TBO. Top overhaul does not
reset the clock. The clock keeps ticking. So it could be 250 STOH yet still
be 1600 SMOH. At least that's my understanding.

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.
