Sounds a bit dear to me.

Never flown a Zlin 143, but I loved the Z142. Very solid, even if a bit heavy, aircraft.

You always need to check the spar status on Zlins, as some have a limited life.

The 143 has a Lycoming engine, which should make it easier for maintenance.

Also be aware that the manufacturer Moravan has had a volatile history recently.
