Well said. That’s almost half a million dollar after tax for a 4 seat + Fuel and Maintenance not counting depreciation. OUFF!
I think fair price should be around 250K.
This looks like a modern, well-designed airplane. I’d probably enjoy having one. But a well-equipped model is $379,500.00. With tax, $406,065 in my state. There is no way I can justify spending that amount of money on a 4-seat airplane that can only fly in relatively good weather. I don’t know how companies can think new GA airplanes are worth that. I know it’s not just Tecnam. Other manufacturers are as bad or worse. I don’t know what the solution is.
