When you're selling, what people think is everything.



SO let me get this straight: You spend $12k just to make the plane
desirable - the OP clearly stated he didn't need the equipment. Then the
buyers will pay maybe 1k to 2k over the price of the plane without that 430
in it. And this is good advice?

No, you don't have this straight. I'm not saying you will recover all the
cost of the upgrade. (And BTW, where did you get that 1k to 2k figure? I
suspect you made it up.) I'm saying that some buyers will not even *consider*
an airplane without a 430.

Jonathan did not mention in his OP that he does not have any intention of
selling the plane; that's why I offered the experience with a buyer for his
consideration.

Thanks, I'll pass. I can navigate with 2 VORs just fine.

No doubt you wear a scarf and leather helmet, too.

Some pilots need to fly GPS instrument approaches; try doing that with 2
VORs.
