Default Will the Blanik L-23's join the L-13's reaching their end as well?

I'm considering buying one, but hesitant to do so in regards to the L-13's being permanently grounded. I have a lot of people telling me that the problems the FAA had with the L-13, are now transferring over to its sister ship, the L-23. And that the L-23's are soon to be completely worthless.



I have an opportunity to buy one for very cheap, almost too good to be true. Are people giving these away now to avoid the inevitable?



Looking for any answers.


I heard from a very reliable source that a well maintained L-23 was sold in the USA in past month for $45,000 within 48 hours of being posted.

A "too good to be true price" can be a red flag for fraud. For example, there was a recent post on RAS concerning a rebuilt 2 place Puch being sold from Poland to USA with no disclosure of the major accident damage being made by the seller.
