N51DM Back on the market

[SKYFLYER]

I thought that they had repainted N51DM...  Maybe they never were able to warm up to the paint and interior.

Very interesting, maybe he got his Phenom.  This is also the plane that hit the deer on takeoff and still made it around the pattern to land safely.

Well, it's no longer "no damage history!"

I think that paint and interior hold it back... that's the problem if you do something too unique. Otherwise great airplane.

That page shows 6G aviation as the broker.

I don't see it on Controller, which is usually where I look.

[Bruce Byerly]

Not for sale as far as I know.

So given all of these fantastic numbers what does everyone think that the fair market value is of this aircraft?

[JimC]

It's THE top of the market.

1.9 million.

That's my WAG.

[donv]

I was also thinking $1.9-2 million. Any more, I doubt if damage history makes much of a difference in these airplanes. Heck, my 980 has damage history!

N51DM back out there....  After deer strike and new paint job.
Still phenomenally low hours @ 2800 TT

Interesting that it lists the engine TBO as 3600... depending on the mod status of those engines, that could be accurate. I would certainly try to get them extended to 5400.

[Adam Frisch]

Beautiful aircraft.

[Bruce Byerly]

What is the future of a G950?  Are they doing NXi and a 3100 on that platform?

[donv]

Aren't you the guy to answer that question?

[JMA]

Valid response Don, made me laugh.  Come on now Bruce !
