25 times more at a bare minimum.



Sometimes you pay more upfront

to save later. Just as with most hybrid cars costing more to
purchase, but paying you back (hopefully) with lower operating costs.



This is never, ever the case with a jet. A jet can save you time but
will always cost more in money.


That was my point. Even though a new Bo may cost more than a used Jet,
the Bo's lower operating costs will quickly swamp any purchase price
differential.
