Hi I recently purchased a Bonanza F35 on eBay for short ($49,000)
money. It has all of the mods and AD's accomplished, no prop AD, new
paint, leather interior, cruises in the yellow arc like a typical
v-tail, and 1100 hours left on the engine. My next choice was
a V-35 by D'Shannon with a 300 hp io-550 with 179 kt cruise for
$98,000, however the engine was run out. The F-35 will take me to SW
Florida for a new develpoment with one stop, average flight time is
6.5 hours. Bad call or no?

Thanks.

Sounds like a little bit of buyers regret, In the last month I have
delivered 8 airplanes and out of the 8, 5 were purchased on ebay 3 of them
had serious buyers regret! You will get over it. You got an exelent buy at


Excellent buy? My book says average retail price on the 55 F35 is $35K
and the book was printed in 95. How much would the price change in 10
years for a 50 year old airplane? :-))


There's 2 F models in Trade A Plane right now, one asking $36K, one
asking $47.5K. There's a G model with an asking price of $48.5K. I
don't know what he means by "short" money but he paid retail price.
