Just an observation on how nuts the aircraft market is right now - here's an ad for a 680V, same model as mine:
https://www.controller.com/listing/for-sale/208798725/1968-commander-680v-turboprop-aircraftIt has the original -43 engines (vs my -1's), much less performance (about 50kts slower) and with extremely weird and virtually unserviceable hydraulic pressurization system. 2000hr TBO vs my 5400hrs. No long range tanks, etc. List goes on. They're asking $395K.
I mean, I doubt they can get that. But if they can get $300K for it, which seems plausible in this frenzied market, then mine should by all metrics be worth at least $400K in comparison.
Less than 2,5 years ago I started this thread and was asking $189K. So market has virtually doubled in less than 2 years... BTW, plane is not for sale, I'm just reflecting on these times. Or let me rephrase that - if you come with a check for $400K she is
very likely for sale..
