6217D did not sell on eBay. Why do you suppose nobody wants that 680? It has been in TAP for 3 months or so. I've heard good things about 680s, in general, and a lot of good things about 6217D, specifically. Is he asking too much? Is a 680 undesirable? Is there just no market for 680s? I'm not sure if I want to offer a lower price for 17D and pay for a pre-purchase inspecition if I am going to regret it later when I discover it is a hot potato.

Probably nothing wrong with the plane. Given fuel prices twins are just not selling period. Add to that limited to no support for the engines and airframes it is amazing that these planes sell at any price. You really gotta love em to own one.
Call Harry Merrit in Florida, I think he used to maintain that particular plane. Then decide to inspect it and make the guy an offer.

That's truly a pity that circumstances make certain things obsolete.
I am a 'don't fly a single engine plane over water, mountains, or large
cities' type of guy. There is just nowhere to land if one flies over the LA
met area, for instance, and some folks had to make do with a back yard, busy
freeway or a building's roof to get down. Should one trade the safety of a
spare fan for lower costs? I don't want to.
An additional engine would certainly double the chances of an engine failure
but it certainly cuts down on the probability of an unwanted landing.

I own a 680 and have had it for a couple of years. Its a great airplane! I also know Harry Merritt and if Harry tells you something you can take it to the bank.(Good Guy) Don`t think you would be sorry at all for owning a good 680,more power than you will ever want and best all around performance of ANY twin.

Delicious ideas to please the pickiest eaters. Watch the video on AOL Living.

i owned one 28 years ago. great great aircraft, but fuel consumption
will kill you. Engines and airframe never a serious problem. hope you
hit the lottery,you'll need it. lloyd
