I really don’t want to sell it as I truly believe it will 1) be extremely cheap to run especially during the 1000 hrs warranty 2) appreciate in value as people realise that it is extraordinary value .... it is after all an L4 with new cockpit , twin fadec and glass cockpit .... but for under 50 % of the price .
The only problem I have is that my beloved old 109 cannot sell even for $280k with a fresh Annual ( it’s just coming out in a few days ) which is cheaper than a 1970,s Jet Banger with 20,000 hrs !!!! So my feeling is , my wife loves it , my friends love it .... it has been ultra reliable ... so why get rid of 150 knots of ultra smooth comfort Single pilot IFR twin and relegate down to a single which is 5 X the price ! So I think you are right .... the 505 will have to go !! ( eventually)
