EXTERIOR

INTERIOR

Tan velour seats, tan vinyl sidewalls, tan carpet. Rated 5/10. (See Aircraft Grading Standards for definition). While the seats are in good condition, we recommend replacing the carpet ($355 from Airtex Interiors), which is stained and loose. Much of the interior plastic trim is yellowed but could be re-dyed; several pieces are cracked and in need of replacement. (Detailed photos of the interior, including the carpets and cracked plastic, are available upon request from SkyMachines)

 NOTES

• Broker's Comments: The turbo 182RG offers perhaps the best combination of carrying capacity, comfort, speed and economy of any aircraft ever produced! N737MX is a well-maintained workhorse. While the engine is near TBO, the strong comp-ressions and lack of significant oil leaking or consumption suggest it has at least 100 hours of flying left before needing an engine overhaul. (Of course, a buyer will want to have a pre-purchase examination done on the aircraft to verify its airworthiness, but we wouldn't hesitate to fly our family in this aircraft)
• Flying Qualities: While we are not the owners, SkyMachines has flown this aircraft. It flies straight and true and no known issues were observed during 3.5 hrs. of flying in March, 2009
• Escrow: In this and all transactions, SkyMachines uses Insured Aircraft Title Service to hold the buyer's deposit, perform  a title search, hold documents from the seller's and buyer's lenders, transfer the funds at closing, and record new registration and security documents with the FAA. (Buyer and seller will split the approx. $400 escrow fee)
• Pricing: We want N737MX to be the best deal on a Turbo 182RG on the US market...if you find a better deal, we'll beat it!
• Book Values: The National Aircraft Appraisers Assn.'s E-Valuator reports the value as $83,673. The Aircraft Bluebook Price Digest value is $83,760.
• Insurance: The seller is currently paying $1700 per year for $100,000 of hull coverage and $1M of liability coverage through the AOPA Insurance Agency
• Training: SkyMachines will include a free 2-hr. checkout for the buyer; additional instruction available at $59/hr.
• Pricing: SkyMachines can offer 3 options for N737MX:
