Buying A Second Hand Cirrus - What Would You Do ?

Maybe this is the year that I finally decide to buy a cirrus. However I can't make up my mind which is the best way of doing it.

There are several groups advertising in the magazines for shared cirrus ownership, I hear on the gossip grapevine that availability is generally good and the membership of these groups has been far less than envisaged making some of them struggle financially and potentially questioning their long-term viability. This may be true or just airfield gossip.

Two Cirrus owning friends tell me they think the price for second hand cirruses will reduce significantly in the next few months, especially with these interesting financial times persisting and new models being launched.

Options :
1. Buy now in UK
2. Buy now in US
3. Wait a few months to see if the price really does drops.
4. Join a cirrus group

Thoughts and advice very welcome.

I don't know if any other fellow PPRuNer's are mulling over this as well and wonder what thoughts and advice others have.

Cheers,
