Why are so many Stemme S10-VT motorgliders for sale?

Who needs to understand? Just look at their faces.

My best fight to date was a bit over 640 km but I was still new in the
ship. I can't wait until next summer...!

To give non-stemmers what it can do, this video is about a 500 km cross country done in 3.5 hours.
It is so well balanced while thermaling you don't have to be looking at Bumper's yaw string all the time.

Sorry is not in english!

Prices can be affected by a number of things.

The S10 has a fixed pitch prop and normally aspirated Limbach. It may not have folding wings, which detracts a lot from convenience and speed of rigging - making it a one man, easy operation that take just minutes.

A S10-VT has a turbo charged, intercooled engine and prop that has take off and cruise positions.

There are also two panel shapes, the earlier standard panel and the "mountain soaring" panel that is a little smaller, but easier for the pilot or passenger to see out the opposite side of the canopy - since it's introduction, I think most Stemmes are sold with this option.

I think those are the main options and those that would be the most expensive to retrofit.

A few options, at least back when I purchased my ship in '97, like long range tanks, if you ordered you paid for them, and if you didn't order them, you got them for free anyway, as "all" the wings came with them!

The Limbach engined S10 could also have the VP (variable
pitch) prop.

Thanks for the responses!
