Getting the bug for a new plane
....and wondering if anyone here has bought a factory-new plane
recently. . . I bought a new C-172S in December 2001 out of Cessna factory inventory, through a local Florida dealer. The dealer wouldn't budge off MSRP, but Cessna incentives amounted to about $7500. I've enjoyed the plane but want more speed and useful load, so am considering a factory-new C-182T or possibly a low-time 2001 or 2002 model. I'm also intrigued with the Cirrus SR-20 and might consider that as a possibility. My wife likes the idea of new, I think mainly because she believes it would be more reliable. Anyone here bought a new Cessna product recently? I know a while back there was a big discussion of whether or not an individual could bargain with a dealer like you do when buying a new car. What's the current thinking about all this? Obviously, I'd like the best deal I can get and those Cessna MSRP's are *really* way up there. Thanks, Gerry C-172S N5126J SRQ |
