What are the prop and engine hours, "On Condition" infers they are over TBO ( though in the UK on private cat it can continue to fly on that)

I think the cost of an engine will floor you if and when it is needed

I quote this from a 2007 article

still drop my jaw when I hear that a new IO-540 from Lycoming is north of $45,000. A freshly overhauled IO-540 will be in the $20-$30K range and may require a core. I don’t have a core.

You have to factor that and the prop into the price..get a licenced engineer to do a survey for you of the aircraft, it is seriously money well spent
