Torres, Did'nt you post a piccy of your latest 'toy' somewhere not so long ago?
Rather have a Ferrari m'self. Red, of course!
As for buying an aircraft.....well, for some reason I'd get a Titan!
But only if I could pay cash and if it were my own and not the banks!!
I have'nt won Tatts so it won't happen.

Flying Binghi
THAT'S GOLD
Laughed so hard I nearly pee'd myself!
Actually above 10,000 you might be where Torres lives!
Real excuse is illness in the family, not wanting to fly anywhere, I am blamed for spreading it too

Buying a Plane
Purchasing an aircraft or yacht is really only the deposit. Then the real expense starts.........

This may be true however flying is still "the most fun you can have with your pants on"

Found out yesterday that I'm up for a new O540 due to cracked crank case. Oh well, only a couple of hundred hours before TBO anyway. Paint work is a bit tatty so throw in a paint job as well. Don't expect much change out of 60 - 70 K.
If I had was using this money pit purely for private purposes it would be enough to make me consider doing harm to myself. As it is a part of a business operation though the costs are just part of doing business in aviation. You budget for it and have to expect it to happen at any time.
I've seen many people at the pvt GA arena almost go to the wall due to unexpected engines, props, airframe corrosion, ADs etc etc etc.

Do you have a business or a house rented elsewhere....... use the a/c for business purposes saves a little as you can claim some off the good ol tax man.
You live in Karratha....... there is a great LAME at YCAR who works on heaps of 150's, 172's etc that could help you with pre purchase if you go that way.
"Don't think about it... do it"......... my Grandfather used to say.... and he was real smart with finances.
