http://www.aso.com/ lists them from USD 16,500 to USD 65,500. I'd say
for 30 AMU you'll get a usable plane. Why does he want a leaseback?

He just purchased the entire fuel operation for the airport, plus two or
three C-172s and a $250K flight simulator. There was a C-152 on
leaseback but the owner sold it for a larger airplane, so there's an
empty tiedown marked "RESERVED FOR FLIGHT SCHOOL" where the second C-152
used to be.

The hot setup is where you provide an aluminum tube and the lessee provides
fuel, scheduled maintenance, and insurance. That way if the aircraft isn't
used much, all you are out is the cost of the airplane which you should be
able to recover if you bought it right.
