Terry wants to sell according to Dennis, in short, there are two ways to purchase this aircraft: #1- lowered price, walk around the aircraft, do comprehensive log book research and use the 72 month results as your prebuy and close in 5 days. I feel would could purchase for $6M for sure and possibly for $5.8M if we are firm. I will verify, but to my knowledge the landing gear corrosion is not looked at hard. This is a 5000 landing requirement but has a calendar due date also, this is big ticket item ($150k+/-). Let me research this today with Gulfstream.
