1979 Tiger for Sale

AND I took off after an Arrow, slowly but surely caught him and
pulled away.....

Ain't it fun? (Of course, I'm burning a bit more fuel than you in order to
do it...

Sold the Tiger today. Interest was very high so it was priced well.

Not for something I'd want. It seems like every time I read an article
about
some older plane, they have really low values they're quoting. It's like
they
went and dug out their 5 - 10 yr old copy of Aviation Consumer.

What's the point if you find a bargain price and have to pay $20k to get
it
up to snuff?

Does anyone here think that $49,500 is
a realistic price?

What!?!? You sold that over-aged "joke" for the asking price?
Unbelievable!!!

And I was going to offer to haul it away to my home airfield for free,
as a favour, of course, to save the expense of a wrecker.


All the best,

I couldn't tell if you were trolling or just stunningly misinformed
and inexperienced. Seeing in another post that you have 110 hours, I'm
going to assume the latter. Your statement abot 'newer is better -
period' is just plain silly. I can show you a late 60s Cessna 182 at
my home airport that will put any new 182 to shame. 100 hour engine,
beautiful paint, great avionics, stunning leather interior. All for
less than 1/2 the cost of a similarly equipped 'new' 182. The owner
bought a 'normal' 182 (with shaky P&I) and had it fixed up *exactly*
the way he wanted it. Since he paid a fraction of the cost of new, he
could afford to have it done his way. Ask any A&P (or even any pilot
with more than 110 hours) and ask them how important airframe age is.
They'll tell you 'not very'. A properly maintained non-pressurized
small plane can fly indefinitely...go do some research in the NTSB
database, you will find *very* few accidents relating to airframe age.

I'd take this 'old' Cessna over a new 182 any day. What exactly can
you do with a new 182 that I couldn't do with this older one, that
cost less than 1/2 the price? Hull insurance is lower, so I save money
on an ongoing basis. On a common, simple plane like a 182 (or even a
not-so common plane like my 1963 Beech Musketeer) maintenence and
parts are not significantly greater in cost than for a much newer
plane. Bournelli's law applies equally to 1963 and 2003 airplanes, so
they both can get the job of flying done. So what? What *exactly*
makes the 2003 plane better?

I don't get into an older than 20 year plane!
And what are you telling me here?
Are you trying to do some loops and steep turns?
Any plane racing in your future?
Handling better - for what?
Newer is better - PERIOD.

Fly a Tiger and then come back and tell me it handles like a Cessna.

Sorry for my comment, but can't hold back:
How do you come up with a ridiculous price like that.
Your plane is an old pile of junk.
Compare it to a 1997 to 1999 Cessna 172!
They are available from $75000 and up...
Look for yourself www.aso.com
And you get recent avionics, lower time,
nice paint, nice interior, lower insurance,
ad a new engine and you are set...
Your plane... $76000...Ha, what a joke...

$49500 is not the original asking price of $76000.
