This has to be the nicest Commander I have ever seen!

It's a beaut, but that "Call for Price" statement doesn't impress me. Not that I could afford it anyway

I'm not wild about the white in the interior.

Indeed it's nice, I agree. I was sitting in it yesterday prior to flying a demo in N840JK, another super airplane. The owner would like to sell N51DM. Let me know if you would like to fly it or have any questions!

Even at what is most likely a top of market price you would be saving money compared to what this guys has invested.

He started with a really good low TT airframe then dumped a truck load of money in it.

He will take a beating or it won't sell.

I think this one has been on BT before?

Before it got put with Eagle Creek, it was advertised for $2 million and change. I think the price has come down significantly since then. But that panel alone with the autopilot is $350K, so as Steve said, whatever you pay for it, you'll pay a lot less than owner did to put it in.

HI HO Silver...awaaaaayyyyy......

Im betting his total investment including original purchase price of the plane is somewhere between 1/2 to 1/3 the purchase price of a similar brand new plane. The owner of this Commander essentially did what these guys do. http://www.nextantaerospace.com/
Nextant totally refurbishes and updates an existing airframe for roughly 1/2 the purchase price of new. In a lot of ways the refurbished aircraft is better than new. It's about as custom as you can get.

What might look good (or just be a popular choice) in a car does not necessarily carry over to a plane. Black is a very common interior color choice for a car but a black interior is rare in a plane.

Twin Commander invented the 'total refurbishment' program in the 90's.

I have seen this plane. The quality of the interior is very high. Black would not be my choice but they did not skimp.

It looks like something you would find in a Bentley.

$2.495 or best offer as of a month ago.

It's dark blue inside with white and dash of carbon fiber. The panel is more like $500k given the options. The cosmetics have grown on me a bit, I'll admit.

There is no way I could avoid the urge to address my copilot as "kemosabe".
