I highly suggest coming to Kansas (IXD) to inspect the aircraft before bidding as all bids are final and the winning bidder must submit a $2000 non-refundable deposit within 72 hours of the close of the auction. I have invested nearly $40k but am offering this Coupe for the best offer over $25k. This is a no-reserve, no foolishness auction and the highest bidder wins.
