P337

[S019]

So, I had emailed the broker to ask about the plane. No response still after a week and a half. Clearly he has no interest in making any deals or properly representing the seller. That plane has pretty much been inactive and likely to take a bit of work which makes it even more important to answer inquiries to interest in my opinion. And looks like it is just going to sit longer. Can't say I'm surprised by this action though. It's sad to know that plane is likely to continue to rot away because of the lack of motivation of the broker.

You would not believe the text message I have on my phone from that dealer himself.... it's shocking to say the least. I also talked to a couple of locals that know the dealer and they said stay away... Now these are A&P's and IA's that work in the Area.

Sadly this airplane is less then a 2 hour drive from my front door... go figure.

The games people play: I received a text from one of the locals in mid July saying the owner pulled the plane off the market. However it is still listed as for sale and the price keeps going down. Started around $120K and now it's in the mid $90's. Not only are we seeing a lot of junk on the market, many are being listed by deplorable's

I've bought planes before by going directly to the owner. A search of the FAA database will get you the owner's name (if lucky) or more likely an LLC name. It's then just a little bit of google-fu to find the actual person behind the LLC - it's usually not hard as long as it's not a Delaware LLC.


Which tail numbers are you having trouble with?

Hey Jim,
Yeah I've been down that road also, I have the cell number of the owner. I've also talked to a few owners of planes before they were listed on the open market. So believe me I've been working on finding a great P337. Just no luck to date on finding even a good airplane to start with.

I would be all over this one if it were Pressurized or for that matter turbo charged without P. Not saying I would buy based on ad, but I would for sure take a trip to see and view the logs. It looks promising on paper and in photos to be a great 337. But you don't know until you see for yourself.

Either way turbo charged is a must for my mission and P is becoming part of a preference vs. a must have.

I have a very well appointed P337G with engines 800 rear, 400 front. Glass panel, full deice. 9/10 paint 8/10 interior. Well maintained. Thinking about buying a 340A. I am considering sale at 180k. If you have any interest please message me. This plane is not currently listed for sale anywhere.
