So apparently I broke forum rules on my last post and it was taken down -- sorry about that everybody.
I am looking for assistance valuing an RV-6A that I am interested in purchasing. This will be the first experimental plane that I have purchased and I'm way out of my depth wrt appropriate price.
Basic specs:
- QB Slider
- ~1000 TT
- XP IO-360
- Electronic ignition
- CS prop
- dual axis autopilot
- nice "IFR" panel, but not really IFR. No ILS, no VOR, no certification. Does have WAAS GPS unit, however.
- nice looking "20ft" paint
The plane appears to be in good shape. It was put together by a VAF member and his posts and build notes are very encouraging. Photos of the panel, however, reveal a nest of wires down by the rudder pedals and a snake of wires duct taped to the left wall running aft :/
Asking price is 79k. Am I way off base in thinking this sounds very high? I don't want to offend the seller or shut down the deal by pissing him off, but I'm thinking something closer to 60k is appropriate. I see other 6s listed in and around this price range (or a bit lower), but I have no idea what they're actually selling for, or if they're actually selling.
