Is owning a Archer right for you?
Many pilots struggle with aircraft ownership decisions. There are numerous factors involved including needs, likes, wants and even intangibles like just knowing or saying that you own a plane. In addition to that, life changes and what was the right thing at one time may not be today.
Before determining the best course of action, it is important to take the right approach. The correct conclusion is best reached by removing the emotion and doing a comprehensive cost vs. benefit analysis. What are you really getting and what is it costing. Here is some information that we put together to help.
The state of the used aircraft market
It is a good time to sell a Archer. We have sold hundreds of airplanes in the last several years and we have most definitely seen a trend of increasing pricies and high demand on Archers.
We have numerous pre-qualified buyers looking right now.
Until now, if you decided to sell your plane, you had three basic choices, none of which are very good.
#1 GIVE IT AWAY BY SELLING TO AN AIRCRAFT DEALER WHO WANTS TO MAKE A HUGE PROFIT AT YOUR EXPENSE.
This option promises to be quick and easy, which sometimes it is, but comes at a very high price. Sometimes as much as 50% of the true value of your aircraft.
#2 HIRE A HIGH PRICED FULL SERVICE BROKER TO SELL IT FOR YOU.
This option usually costs 6-7% of the sale price, with a minumum charge of about $5,000. You typically are locked into a 6 month exclusive listing contract and not guaranteed a sale.
#3 GO AT IT ALL ALONE AND SELL IT YOURSELF.
This option is filled with risks and challenges, many of which you cannot even fathom, not to mention a great deal of time and work.
