NOOIT!? (**)

R 331,038.00 inc vat! bliksem...

Something is wrong here. Last night at Morningstar someone said a refurbished, perfectly good reliable Subaru costs about the same as a new Crank on a 914 !!?? The Subaru generates something like 165HP while the 914 is 115HP. ... Someone is screwing someone here...

Its not surprising that Gyro's are perceived to be so expensive by the general flying fraternity. :evil: ##

Yikes!!! It gets more expensive by the month.

Saraf, what is the current cost of the Subaru with all it's necessary components & accessories? Also, what's your opinion on the reliability of the Subaru?

Thanks
John
