: Skyhawks are a lot like Apple computers. They have quite a few tricks of
: their own to make them interesting. They also have a fierce "fan club"
: of people willing to pay unreasonable prices to get them. Hence, they
: may not be worth the money for people not similarly afflicted.

I never thought of it that way, but it's a very good analogy. I used to be a
Mac guy before I became a linux guy, so I understand said affliction.... The nice
thing is that I bypassed the Winders crap altogether... never have used it for any
length of time.

I'll agree with you that most Cherokee 140's are pretty ragged out. Lots have
original radios, paint, and interior... that means pretty rough all the way around.
Often they've got lots of deferred maintenance from previous owners' negligence and
apathy. Fortunately, there aren't too many things that will bite you and they're
fairly easy to check for on a pre-purchase.
