Only Five
Right now in the For Sale Turbines area there are only five turbines for sale posts.
This is the least I have ever seen.
Does this mean everyone has theirs and they are satisfied with them or does it mean pilots are keeping their turbines instead of selling them or does it mean nothing?
I just thought it a little strange that there are only 5 for sale right now.

RE: Only Five
There are certainly buyers out there looking for a good deal. Some of the turbines posted in the last two months, specifically JetCat have sold pretty fast. My gut feeling is people don't want to pay full price for turbines when they can get a used one and if it needs service down the road they'll still come out ahead rather than get a new one from the start. The only reason I'd consider selling mine would be to get a faster throttle response and high thrust, but is it really worth it???
Is there any new technology coming out this year or next that is above and beyond an SE?

RE: Only Five
aKen, if you are planing to use it in the Rafale then it is worth it, no questions ask ( only if you have the money to afford it 
) other then that there is no need to let you walet suffer, just make sure that you have the lates ECU sofware 6.0 now you are good to keep burning Kero.

Maybe because you need to send them to Thailand for Service.
I have 2 PSTJ600R's. I tried to get one serviced in the US or Canada. I was told it had to go to Thailand. I bought JetCat P-70

RE: Only Five
I just sold a P120 in there and I think the guy who bought it got a great deal! (I may be biased though). Even though I sold it for a realistic price (I wasn't too greedy about it) I in turn bought a Titan second hand for a great price, so as long as it's all fine when I run the Titan I guess I'll view it as a kind of cyclic process. I think the reliability of these units allows you to buy with a little more confidence now.
It's also nice to deal with some decent honest guys having heard some of the recent horror stories from deals in the classifieds.
