Even in the best economic times, i t typically takes 3-6 months to sell an airplane on the retail market, and even if you use our SkyAssist flat-fee aircraft brokerage system,And these aren't the best economic times: The current aircraft market is very soft. High fuel prices, declining real estate values, soft business conditions, and tougher credit conditions have all united to create the slowest aircraft market since right after 9/11/2001. Only the true "cream puff" aircraft (those with low total and engine time, above-average paint & interior, and IFR GPS units installed) are holding their value. Most "average" aircraft are declining in value, and there are plenty of them on the market for the few buyers who are out bargain-hunting. Your plane may well decline in value while you wait for it to sell. And you'll have to make your monthly loan payment, pay the hangar or tie-down rent, and pay keep your insurance current. Plus, you'll typically incur over $6,000 in aircraft sales expenses by the time you get your money. Even if your plane is being sold by a broker, you'll have plenty of hassles to deal with. You'll have to meet prospects at the airport and take them on flights, ferry the plane to at least one pre-purchase inspection, make minor repairs, make copies of the logs, and deal with FAA paperwork.So why spend your precious time and money on an airplane you don't really want anymore? If you need cash now, don't have the time to wait for your plane to sell or don't have the time or desire to be involved in the details of the selling process, our SkyCash program is for you. With SkyCash, we will purchase your plane within 7-10 days. We don't have to see it to buy it: No matter which of the 50 U.S. states you're located in, we'll arrange for an aircraft appraisal to be performed by a certified appraiser in your area, and we'll pay for a maintenance shop in your area to do a pre-sale inspection. We'll buy it based on their recommendations, sight unseen, wiring the money into your account. We buy piston-powered, factory-built aircraft (sorry, no homebuilts) built since 1965 and having at least 500 hours remaining on their engines. We will pay all the costs related to the purchase of your airplane. You'll avoid $6,000 of sales expenses. SkyCash is ideal for owners involved in:
Or those who simply don't have the time or desire to be involved in the sale process. if you've owned the airplane more than five years, chances are very good we'll give you more than you paid for it. Of course, like selling your car to a car dealer, we can't pay you the appraised or retail value; that's the price we hope to sell it for. However, in most cases, we can pay you a wholesale value equal to 75-80% of the retail value. Ready To Proceed? ...Get a free, no-obligation analysis of your aircraft's retail value. ... Consider our SkyAssist flat-fee aircraft brokerage system if SkyCash isn't right for you. For a very reasonable fee, we'll find a buyer for your plane (usually within 120 days), screen out the "tire-kickers," protect your interests, and make all the arrangements... while you continue fly your plane. |
