I flew a 172R with 2 hours on the tach.
When our FBO got a brand-new 172 (in addition to the 1 or 2 year 'old' 172), I
told him to let me know when it had accumulated 100 hrs or so.
I'm a strong believer in 'infant mortality' in such matters.
BTW, it now has over the 100 hrs and actually I'm scheduled in it today but
looks like I'll get weathered out (again).
The 'old' new 172 rents for $95, the new one $105. I consider it a bargain
because I couldn't own and fly one like it for that little. Been there, done
that.
(I took our oldest grandson out to look at it and he was impressed...mostly
with the leather seats...)
