Speaking of Alligator, and fire sales and bargin A/C...
I know of one that went from this -
and
To -
For 90k, including the actual cost of the plane itself.
Plane, return to airworthy service and G500/GTN650/GMA350, new carpets, a little paint, a few plastics, some odds and ends and some leather cleaner for the seats.
Goes a treat. There are good things that can come from fire sales. Just have to do your homework before hand and have a little luck on your side!
