When I was researching things preparing to buy my first plane, I spent nearly a
year tracking prices in TAP. As nearly as I can tell from that, aircraft prices
are discounted only about half of what an "hour bank" should be.


Same here. Planes with near new engines (cost of overhaul still fresh in
the owner's mind) were marked UP correctly, but planes near TBO were not
marked down enough. In many cases I could only guess that the prices were
not set with engine hours as a consideration.

From a bargaining standpoint, it sounds like a good place to start the
pricing. If they priced it "correctly" then any bargaining will go against
them.
