Engines and/or cylinders are commodity items 😀 Nothing is cheap but they are replaceable. The airframe is not. If this thing is so clean as you say then go for it! Buy the damn thing like you know the engines need replaced. They are at TBO right? If you end up getting 600 hours out of them then bonus. There is no guarantee if you bought one with new engines. When you buy these old planes you need to plan for $20,000 a year for the first couple years before they stabilize and stop bleeding. Airplanes that sit with no use will need some real,serious maintenance for the first couple years. The Skymasters are not 172's with two engines. They are complex airplanes that need continuous TLC.

Good luck Tom
