"Local airplane dealers lot"? Maybe I should get out more, but I've never
seen such a thing, much less an APM 30 Lion on it.

Yeah, maybe you should get out more, for starters:

http://www.vanbortelaircraftsales.com/

http://www.mccandlessaircraftlc.com/

http://www.griffithaviationsales.com/

http://www.rivannaaircraftsales.com/default.htm

Though these days there are fewer of them than there used to be.

I didn't say that airplane dealer lots didn't exist. Just that that
they are rare and for most people there are no local ones.

And most of what is in your list are what I would call brokers, not
dealers. I really doubt that actually have all their "inventory"
in one place.

Also, while you didn't say it, the conversation was implying new
aircaft, not used. Excpet for the first one listed I don't see anyone
selling strictly new aircraft.

Sorry, I just seem to be extra pedantic this morning...
