Default Maybe back to the LS4

I started out looking for an LS-4. I was pretty adamant that I wanted
nothing less. I looked at another ship in Austin for a friend, as I had
to be there anyway. I found a PIK for sale, and though I wasn't
interested for myself, I looked for my friend. My friend wasn't
interested. It's owner made me an offer I couldn't refuse. So, for less
than 1/2 of what I was going to pay for an LS-4, I wound up with
similar performance, and NO GEL COAT ISSUES. the trailer isn't all that
great, but since I've had it, I've improved it. Refinish isn't nearly
so expensive, because all the old finish doesn't have to be removed. It
came with a good 'chute, L-NAV &GPS, O2 system, spare gear doors, spare
wheel & tire, spare tail wheel, etc.

My point is, be open minded. It could save you a lot of money. However,
If an LS-4 is what you have your heart set on, you may not be satisfied
with anything else. To thine own self, be true.

Whatever you get, I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I have
enjoyed my PIK.
