Another Cessna 210A at auction, 40 SMOH engine and acc'ys
Another 1961 Cessna 210A has been put up for auction, and with only
one day left the bids have only reached $30,000. AOPA's appraisal is $66,000 and the reserve price is FAR less. This one has only 40 SMOH on the engine and all major accessories. Check it out if you need a good 4 seat airplane with big load carrying ability, 150KT cruise speed and 11 GPH economy. AS FOR the previous aircraft I listed on ebay... Some of my fellow smart-asses have replied to the previous C-210 thread, making some comments that are not quite right. One fellow said Part 135 Maintenance means nothing. Horse****. 135 is a higher standard and is associated with more stringent and more frequent inspections. Just because some 135 operators don't maintain their airplanes right doesn't mean they all don't, and a poorly maintained 135 airplane is still theoretically better off than a poorly maintained Part 91 airplane all other factors equal. My point was that this airplane was maintained with a better degree of care and concern because the owner, the pilot, the hands-on mechanic and the signature IA are all the same guy. Granted, I called it a Centurion and it may only be a 210. My mistake technically, but adding the search word Centurion might help get some more interest. Bidders whose names are not Jack are still welcome to bid The owner has his name and the name of his daughter embroidered in the headrests of all his airplanes for very valid personal reasons... trust me. Just bid as though you will have to have the stitching removed by one of the ethnically diverse "artisans" with auto upholstery shops near any airport. Jack's airplanes are mechanically sound. As I put in the auction description, the hoses and related stuff firewall forward have been replaced. Is a 46 year old airplane going to have a spotless FWF "engine room"? No. Did I list it as an Oshkosh show winner? No. Was the reserve price a LOT less than what you would see at some country club airplane sales showroom... YES. Is the airplane reliable and well above average in appearance, I think so. If you want an Oskhosh champion 210 showplane, go to Oshkosh or Trade- a-Plane and have about $75-85K in hand. If you want a new Cessna 210, call the nice folks at Cessna and ask them what one would cost. In the meantime, y'all have an opportunity to bid on a strong, nice, and reliable 210 with a fresh engine and accessories, for less than Cessna 172 money. If you are more interested in a 172, I'm about to put one of those up for auctino today too |

It says that AOPA version of an appraisal is 66,000 but the flying
community let him know what they thought it was worth. Lou |

BS meter pegging!!! 135 maintenance just means it is probably worn out, ratty, and ready for a HUGE influx of cash. Stay away for an old 135 airplane!! |

Hey, if you don't want it, pass over it. No need to break his balls,
he's not costing you any money. On Wed, 27 Jun 2007 03:58:52 -0700, Lou wrote: It says that AOPA version of an appraisal is 66,000 but the flying community let him know what they thought it was worth. Lou |

I wouldn't be so general in your condemnation of Part 135 Used Airplanes. I purchased a Part 135 Piper Lance and after a through pre-purchase inspection, there were very few minor squawks and the overall condion was very good. |

I purchased a Part 135 Piper Lance and after a through pre-purchase inspection, there were very few minor squawks and the overall condion was very good. Thank you, gentlemen... I appreciate the action on this topic. I indeed do have a BS meter, and it does occasionally peg out, but I wasn't BS'ing in this instance. Bat, whomever you may be from my past or present, thanks But let 'em take their best shot... my balls have Kevlar leading edges. Jack kept and maintained this 210 in good condition. Most of the smart- asses in these waters may not know that there are several kinds of 135 operations, not all of them are 18 year old pilots with 200 hours PIC running bank checks in clapped out Cherokees with 10K hours and no maintenance. This one was running small parcels of nuclear medicine on straight cruises between LA and SFO at normal cruise power. Now I ask you... would you rather have that kind of 135 airplane, or a Part 91 airplane that was rented out to every Tom, Dick and Harriet who walked in the front door of a 'can't pay the bills this month' FBO ? As I said, this airplane was a fairly good one. I agree that the AOPA appraisal (or the trade-e-plane asking price, etc.) is not always the market reality. That's why you put things like this on ebay in the first place, my dear neurosurgeons ! What gets me chuckling is the way that many of the peanut-gallery pundits scream bloody murder at someone else's asking price, but then when THEY sell their airplane it's made out of solid gold OK, kiddies, I have another ebay airplane auction up now. It's a reasonably nice, flyable (but major damage history) 172, and I will be re-listing the other 210 of Jack's that did not meet the reserve the first time within a couple of days. Also, since there are Part 135 experts that are lurking these waters, we will be selling the Medical Transport business itself, which includes the 135 certificate, soon as well. Anyone who is interested in a 135 business (single pilot, single engine, cargo) feel free to contact me victorbravo (at} sbcglobal -dottt) net |

If it ticks too much, we can conjure up old Badwater Bill from the olden days of RAH and have him decide whether it's safe to fly. Then again, I've seen Bill a little radioactive on occasion himself! |
