Has ANYONE sold a 601XL or 601XLB in the last year??? I've had my plane for sale for most of the year. I keep lowering the price. I don't want to GIVE it away....but I'm beginning to think I might HAVE TO!!!
Feel free to write me on or off-list.

Dave.
Its probably the Corvair engine!.
It spells trouble to conventional pilots.
I hope you find a buyer.,

Actually if you look on Barnstormers there are 601XL with Jabiru's that also haven't moved.

Hi Dave,
I'm afraid I can't help, but perhaps I can shed some light on the issue.
Nothing in the way of light planes is selling these days. It is not just the Zodiac XL. It is probably not your price. With the economy in the gutter, unemployment at around 20 percent (including those who gave up looking along with the 9.5 percent on the unemployment insurance hand out roll) and lots of other problems there just isn't anybody who wants to buy a light plane.
If you can wait for the government to stop spending all the money it can print perhaps you will do better. If you must sell it now I suggest you clean it up and fly it to every event you can reach and hang a for sale sign on it. You might get someone on an impulse purchase.
Good luck,
Paul

Paul is right, Show it around and shure someone will be interested.
If not very soon, with a positive attitude, at least you will have fun flying it, hopefully in a few weeks you might decide to keep it 
Also is the perfect excuse to fly around...

Dave
I briefly offered my 601XL for sale earlier this year and reached the conclusion that there is not much of an experimental aircraft market right now. The big problems I encountered were- "Corvair Engine huh, that's the one that breaks cranks right?" and "Zenith huh, is that the one that the wings fall off?"
I finally decided to keep the plane and sell some of my other toys instead. The boats already gone but could I interest you in a nice Harley?
When I sold my RV7A several years ago I did it by going to every air show, fly in breakfast and EAA meeting I could find. I finally sold it at an ultralite fly-in. You can sell it but it will take patience and an awareness that you are probably going to lose money on the sale.
Good luck.

Have you considered parting it out? That would also free you from future liability worries.
My gut feeling is that the "firewall forward" would be easier to sell than the "firewall aft". There is a pretty dedicated following of the Corvair engine among the experimental guys. A close friend of mine just bought a Corvair engine and a bunch of WW stuff from a guy who had given up on his project (due to a divorce).
One other thing - without knowing your situation, I do know of one guy who lost his job and put his XL up for sale. He couldn't sell it, and when he got another job he took it off the market and is flying it now. He said he's glad it didn't sell.
Good luck.
