These people have lost their mind No, this is clearly a case of "Honey, I've tried. It's been on Controller for months and nobody's called about it. I promise that I'll sell it to the first buyer I can find."

It's a 180 hp 172 (with a 450 smoh engine and 15 year old paint) ... the 750/345 are worth $20K. At $110 for the rest of it that's still overpriced by a factor of 2

It doesn't even have an autopilot.
If you got two of these for 130 I'd say you'd be getting into the ballpark, but for one old 175? If it's not a "honey I'm trying" situation, then somebody's trying to price it based on the receipts they've kept from the upgrades. That's going to end in disappointment.

I do not know if the latest 172s have an equivalent (or greater) gross weight or fuel capacity.
Either way, I'm out. I can't afford expensive planes Yeah, and you can get newer, faster, better looking airplanes for the same price. Unless the tail is stuffed with hundred dollar bills there's no reason to be looking at this airplane.
