A few questions for a new (hopefully) ower

Just browsing the For Sale ads tells me that I can get pretty much near or
even above what I had put into the plane. My 1978 Warrior II had a KX-170B
and a KT-76A --that's it. I put in a Garmin 430, Garmin 340 audio panel,
GI-106a CDI, avionics master, Davtron clock and had the KX-170 overhauled.
it came out to $14,000. With a 2000 interior, 8 paintjob and 600-hour FRMN
engine, I think $56,000 is about right and even on the low side given the
ads I see every day.

I could be dreaming but I'm just going by what I see.

Everyone had told me I wouldnt get back what I put in it, they were
surprised
when it sold so fast for what I was asking. One thing about selling a
plane is
that it will sell, to the right person. Some people will spend more to get
everything they want then buying a cheaper plane and putting it all in
them
selves.

my 180 sold 4 days after I listed it. I got back all the money I had
put in
for
avionics, didnt get back the money for the speed mods, so wasnt out
that
much.


What avionics did you add? I've added a GNS430 and figure to get no
more than
half back.
