Guys,
I'm looking to buy an N-reg aircraft in the future (never mind what type or how much, will think about that later). Which, in your opinion(s) is the best website to check out used N-reg aircraft? Don't matter where it is, UK, US or Europe, just trying to get an idea. Have looked at www.usaviation.com, which is pretty good, but need to view a bigger selection. Any good suggestions?
Thanks,
CB

One needs to trawl though various places, e.g. all the flying mags, GA News (a free magazine found at airports etc) and such. Not many for-sale planes are on the internet.

For US reg a/c there are two sites worth looking through....
www.aso.com
www.controller.com
Good luck and happy browsing!!!
There really are thousands of US reg a/c for sale on these two sites.:ok:

As soon as my co-owner of our fine vintage taildragger advertised our aeroplane for sale he was inundated, sale concluded within a fortnight. I'll miss her, as will Arclite and possibly Aerbabe/tKf.

I find www.trade-a-plane.com to be the best, followed by aso.com but you need to subscribe to the first.

www.justplanetrading.com have a "wish-list" in which you could probably request an N-reg. They've got a nice N-reg Twin-Comanche there at the moment which I noticed when I dragged my plane out of the hangar yesterday.

Monocock, yep bought a very nice aircraft on ebay...!
Stik, I agree that www.thehangar.co.uk is the best in the UK. In fact, I hear that there is a very nice, if slightly damaged FRED for sale at the moment.... What a bargain! :O
