081 proposal from EE

[Bob Irving]

Don't forget that we could/would easily put the remaining 400 hrs on 081 in
12 months. Then we face an expense of a new engine. I think it would be much
more than $15,000.

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.
