'61 172 in California: $30K

Thank you for including the price - makes all the difference. Really.
Thanks.


Wonder if three people in the flying club could have gotten a (no broker)
"insiders discount" ($3,000) + the normal horse trading deductions ($3,000)?

Now they'd be looking at $24K. Let's say $27K if the Club plays hardball
g.

That's still $10K each, for a decent basic plane ...with a $3k (or $6K)
starting balance in your new partnership. Haven't checked out the ad, I'm
thinking it's a many mods, low-time gem :-)

Do people do this - buy their flying club's planes? Going from big clubs, to
smaller partnerships.


Probably not in this case. The 11 of us voted ourselves a hefty
assessment so that after the Cessna sells we can buy a 74 Tiger or
Challenger* (Tiger preferred).

Just curious and unrelated to this thread, but do votes for big
assessments have to be unanimous, or a supermajority? Espeically given
that your members seem to have a lot of equity in the club so they can't
just quit if they don't want to pay, I'm curious how you handle that.
