Sadly, one will have $400,000 in it and no way he could recover that from a sale. What do you have in it vs what it's worth...Cool airplane though.

I would rather dish out the $$ for that vs. an expensive car!

Nope, you will have half a mil in one I would bet. The $320K price is less engine, prop, and instruments. $600K would not be unrealistic. Very cool though for those with money. Better than an exotic sorts car IMO.

I wonder if you could make a living flying for movies with something like that?

Nope. Would be nice if you could though.

By the time you add motor, instruments, paint, plus all the other little things that add up along the way and cost a bunch of money, 600K+ is pretty close I'd think.

Very cool looking, nice to see something a little different.
