2nd hand A/C more expensive tha new A/C

[do328jet]

I wondered how the rates for AC are calculated. There are ATR 72-500 form a bancrupt Airline on themarket. If you want to purchase
these birds you pay $3,0 Mio more than to order a factor fresh aircraft. Any suggestions why this happen?

Almost immediate delivery?

That's because the aircraft was cut short of its lease (7yr lease, airline BK's 2 years into). As such, you'll find the "added" cost of breaking the lease built into the price.


Least, that's what I've always thought... if wrong, Sami can always explain

Hmmmm.... That still doesn't add up right...? I mean why would I bother getting a older aircraft when I can get it brand new... cheaper... even if I do have to wait ?

If you need an aircraft fast... as in two weeks!!

Hmmmm if you were desperate enough

When it comes to the most popular aircraft you may have to wait several game years. You get used aircraft in 2 game weeks. Has nothing to do with being desperate but with making money and return of investment, that's what this game is all about.

Well I guess you do have a point there.
