Hi JD. $8000 for a Coupe with no radios. It seems like you like the coupe you have seen and its engine actually runs . Just make sure that the wings and certer section are getting inspected by someone with expertise and also make sure you check the tanks for any signs of fuel leaks. Substract $1500 if you see a weaping tank. (It mostly means all 3 need overhaul) . Demand to get the aircraft for free when there is corrosion found on the sparcaps in the wings or center section (just kidding) Hartmut [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > > > > I need some advice.
