Guys & Gals,

I found an IO-540 D4A5 -260 HP(less than 700 SN). Can be had (after inspection and re-cert) for around $30K (with all accessories).

I'm not ready yet or I'd buy it.

Since I paid $18k for an overhauled certified with accessories 260hp, id say this is far from a good deal.

What do you mean? That sounds like a great deal... for the guy selling it!
