What is a good bid for this C-172?

[Jim Logajan]

Pictures and logs available; wondering whether it is worth it (bidding ends in a couple hours):

Looks like the wife of the deceased husband is donating it to Angel Flight West:

Not really much to work with.

Would guess the low to mid twenties after a prebuy inspection.

That was my best guess. Biggest issue is all the unknowns. Reason for donating the plane to Angel Flight West would appear to be that the co-owning pilot husband died, not that the plane had any issues that made the seller want to dump.

Who the _____ is going to spend money on a pre-buy before bidding on a plane from a charity auction???

It is already at $18k.....

I've been told that it sold for $22,500 at the Angel Flight West Endeavor Awards live auction on Saturday night.

Seem fair for a quasi gamble

Not a bad price. I was hoping to read about you doing a refurbishment on the ole gal.
