We just put our CL604 on the market and the attention on a classic is incredible.... The replacement is much harder to find as prices are very firm...

I’m starting to think this year may be different. Q4 was our busiest quarter ever and I don’t see anyone pumping the brakes. We’re currently working with folks that plan to get started after the first, we have acquisitions that are already planned for the summer (when it usually slows way down as people wait on the election) one of our clients just ordered a set of -67A’s for his King Air 300 that will be a mid-summer install (waiting on G1000 being added to STC). All of these folks seem unphased by the coming election.
Please don’t go political and get this thread locked. Surely we can discuss the market that effects us all, as well as the economy we all survive in, without talking about politics... plus the media has exhausted the topic! I suspect your suspicions may be right when a president has served two terms or is likely to lose. Normally, the last year of the first term of an incumbent president when the economy is doing satisfactory is good for large purchases and the stock market in general.

I'm talking to a lot of people every day and all I hear is confidence and optimism. Same here.

Username Protected wrote: CJ2 values certainly took a poop.... Yes, yes they did. It is rare to see a market recover as much as the CJ2 market did and then see those increases evaporate during the same year. I have been asked to write an article about King Air values for King Air Magazine... I'm struggling. I saw premium airplanes bring premium prices last year... fair airplanes sell cheap... and we made a couple of buys that qualify as our best deals to date. The reality is we are talking about micro markets... people ask me about the market for a specific aircraft and I say "I'll have to do the research... because if one sold yesterday it may have just changed the whole market"

My Darn insurance market is going to be a bigger problem than the election, I am sorry to say.
Its harder getting deals done. They don't like high limits, or old planes, or old pilots, or high values, or single pilots, or blah blah blah.
Sorry guys... I think my industry is "part of the problem" for a while. Not my idea of good service.
It's like our policy holders are all of a sudden viewed as Liabilities when they used to be our Assets. Strange days.

Hard to postulate about an election year without getting into politics. To factor out the political climate, sort of renders the question as helpless for lack of analysis no?
