I think that Jock is on the money ( or lack of it) with this one !

The SID's will be a big issue in terms of cost and undoubtedly will sink the types of group who have been under maintaining their aircraft for years, the SID's checks have already been quoted on these pages to cost € 6000 but that is for the basic check, it will be the defects discovered that will be the real sting in the tail in terms of cost.

My advice would be to not invest one penny in a Cessna untill the dust has settled, I also predict that by this time next year a tidy C152 with a half life engine and all the SID's checks done will cost IRO £42-45K.
