Sorry for hijacking, but I have to ask: what has to be done on a not yet
10 year old airplane that cost 200k? Wouldn't it be more wise to buy
into a new (maybe jet/diesel) aircraft like a Diamond? I don't know the
details and you for sure made your homework before spending the 200k.
I don't think he meant it as "We spent 200K improving a 1998 Cessna
182" but "We spent $200K as the purchase price of a 1998 model year
Cessna 182."

Right.... We purchased it, and added a Garmin 530W for a total cost
around $200k...

$200k worth of upgrades would have been idiotic!

I read the "spent on" as "spent on improvements/repair/...

So your point in your reply is fine for me. A C182 in this area is a
good plane. I personally flew one from CHD along the border/river to Las
Vegas, St. George, Page, Grand Canyon, Sedona and back to Chandler. It's
nice to have some power left at 10.000ft.

Martin.... I did that myself a couple weeks back. Monument Valley to
the Grand Canyon along the Colorado river is just an incredible
flight....
