 Posted: Fri May 23, 2008 1:32 pm Post subject: Determining value of RV-6AQB kit for sale |
 |
|
Hello All,
I have searched the archives and not found the answer.
I have someone interested in my RV-6AQB kit. It includes
the tail, wing, and fuse kit but no finishing kit. I paid $17,800
for the kit plus shipping. Approx. 200 hours build time but lets
assume no work has been done. If anyone can provide some
insight on what would be a fair asking price, I would appreciate it!
Thanks,
David

David,
In 1999 I paid $17k for my QB kit second-hand. It included the finish kit and the empenage kit had been build (very nice job). QB kits from Vans were going for something like $25k at the time.
Hope that helps as a data point.

David,
Just another opinion. I sold my 50% completed RV-9a kit with instruments, prop but no engine for what I had purchased it all from Van's. Prices had gone up and I had paid some builder assistance dollars and of course freight costs. The buyer got a good deal because prices had gone up since I started on the kit 3 years back and quality was quite good. And I felt good about not losing out on my matl's costs. I figured my labor, freight & help were just part of my learning experience. I'm now flying a completed RV and very, very happy with my decision to buy and stop building. I have lots of build experience but with a better RV than I would have ended up with for ( I think) less money.
Another Data Point.
Greg
