Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group New LSA 3-5 year depreciation???

Yes, and at the moment cannot remember why it's not higher on the list. Cost is part of it. I keep meaning to put together a spread sheet of features and options to hone in. And I will before purchasing. I can't afford to buy-sell, buy again.  On the plus side, along with Remos and a few others like CTSW, LSAs are staring to show up on the used market.  Does anyone here have short-term depreciation figures on new LSAs?  In cars, it is common that at least a third of resale value evaporates in 3 years and half is gone in five years. How about new planes?  Michael --- On Tue, 8/10/10, gregorma64 <gregorma64@yahoo.com> wrote: From: gregorma64 <gregorma64@yahoo.com> Subject: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Tecnam P2008 To: Sport_Aircraft@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, August 10, 2010, 9:04 PM   I am looking for a new light sport and strongly considering the P2008. There have been many delays on the tecnam also. At sun and fun they said first deliveries would be in april. Then june, then end of july. Its august now and I doubt they are here yet but maybe. Much better finished than the skycatcher but still has the rotax. Sure wish they came with the fuel injected, electronic ignition lycoming 233. Looks like the cost will be $25000 more than the skycatcher also. I believe the lycoming is $5000 less than the rotax so it obvious which engine I would choose. Michael have you looked at the tecnam?
