Gosh, for $144k I would at least expect a motor of some sort.

Guy, a pretty silly comment given the current exchange rate. Let the
man sell his glider as he sees fit.

I don't think it's silly: it was exactly my thought, after comparing it
to the cost of a friend's motorglider purchase ($150,000) a few months
ago. Maybe our currency is weakening faster than we realize.

$144,000 doesn't seem right. When the dollar was at its strongest, you
could get a '27 fully equipped for $75,000, and the V2c was only
slightly more expensive. The euro may be 40% higher now, but that
doesn't take the price to $144,000.

Tom must be looking at the motorglider price sheet.

A reasonably well equipped new Ventus 2C with instruments and trailer should
be in the region of $120 k at current exchange rates. Maybe the extra $24k
is dealer markup!

There is a virtually brand new one for sale here in Arizona by a colleague
of mine for around $100k. Buy this one and you have an extra $40k with
which you could buy a quite nice spare glider!

Actually it is right on. I purcahsed a V2C in 2001, traded money at .82 and
..87 $ per Euro and by the time I had all the options, trailer, shipping and
insturtments and O2 I had paid $ 97,000. We have had a 40 % drop in the dollar
verus the Euro. If you have never bought a new glider you just do not have any
ideas. Tom was the dealer for many years, don't ya think he might know how
much a new V2 is???

You are a really luck guys!

In many countries you have to pay importation tax and
duties…

To import my Ventus 2cM I paid ocean freight, container
rental fee, insurance, and 30% as tax…

A few years ago, I paid USD 2k jus to delivery a Cobra
trailer to SZD in Poland, and 50% importation taxes...
and the glider delay 3 months due a frozen port in
Poland and more 60 due a port straick in Brazil...

So, USD 120k for a glider or USD$ 150k for a motorglider
ready to fly is a nice bargain!

Sds. VoLo.

We tend to get a bit USA centric from time to time. Thanks for the
reminder. We are now paying about
USD 2.30 per gallon for regular gasoline here and it is killing us!

I know it is more expensive in most other countries.

The costs for my motor glider to ship from Slovenia to Cobra is ? 937.00
including insurance, ? 96.00 for handling charges
and about $3300 to ship glider plus trailer from Europe to Los Angeles.

In case the Euro symbol doesn't survive, the first two amounts are in Euros
and the last is in USD.

This seems fairly reasonable to me.

You are right in that there are no taxes assessed in the US for the
importation.
Many States, however, will assess personal property and/or sales taxes.
In most States these will rarely exceed $1200 or so, including the trailer
registration.

Lucky we are and thanks again for the reminder.

Hi Al,

Don't complain too much about the price of fuel! We pay A$4.50 per
gallon downunder. Maybe you should take the drive belt off the
supercharger on the Ford!! :-)

Cheers
