Does that give you a clue how expensive an underpriced airframe can be?
Wow, it's hard to believe a Hawker 4000 can be had for $500K. If so, I'd jump on that deal. Wouldn't you? According to BCA article written by Fred George dated February 27, 2016, "the Hawker 4000 if it undergoes a rigorous due diligence pre-buy process, can be a great buy... RC-7 through RC-51 have dozens of shortcomings repaired with a block point upgrade (BPU) phased in at RC-52... Thrust reverser corrosion inspection, fuel tank inspection and landing gear corrosion inspection are must." Did the quoted comp of $500K include a BPU upgrade? Can parts be found for the Hawker 4000? If not, what are alternative pre-owned super-mid sized aircraft to be considered for acquisition? Mission profile includes KSFO-PHKP. Also quoted, I'm looking for a prize "instead of a pig-in-poke".
