I’m tempted to get it and I have the exact same one already. These are hands down the best airplane for a family of 5 plus dog. Mine was from spruce creek too. This thing is an absolute steal for this price.

When I was searching for a twin the 55 was on the list but me having a family of 5 is exactly what took it off the list. I routinely fly with my wife and 3 teenage kids. The 55 is an incredible plane for so many reasons. The 5th seat isn’t one of them.

Michael,

I’ve been in contact with Jay since November about 41TG. Recently I requested the annual log entries from him, if you can provide? I can be reached at 303-929-3328.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

You might be right - seriously.

Seriously, if that plane is in good shape its an amazing deal. If I didn't already own a P2, I'd jump on this in an instant (after an inspection). I spent....um.... more than that on my P2. :sad:

I feel like a need to raise the price to $275K; I think the low price implies something is wrong. There's nothing wrong, it's just a great deal. I would put my wife and kid in this bird and fly it across the country.

This is a great plane at that price.
Is the fact no one has jumped on this great deal reflective of how soft the market really is?

I believe the market is softer that most realize.

If this were available last summer I would have bought it already.

Maybe but the original poster may be right that the price was so low that people assume it has some serious issue.

I know nothing about this particular plane, but if its in reasonable condition, its really is an amazing deal

I think your right, almost nothing is moving.

Everything I've ever seen or heard about Tarver deals both online and directly from his customers face to face conversations reflect variations around him being a straight shooter and fairly priced stuff.

Hope its my turn someday to buy something turbine from him

The 5th seat on these has plenty of room. Obviously the middle row seat can’t be all the way back. It’s almost better to put smaller person in middle row and have that seat moved up. Leaves enough room for adult in last row. Or you can play foot games in the 58 facing each other.

Would it be too much to have two of these. On a side note can you share power settings and fuel burn for the 200kt. Speed.
