Description

Sportsman II 2+2.  One owner-builder from factory 'Two weeks to taxi' program. 
Squawk free.  Fresh annual with sale.  Virtually a new airplane, hangared, annualed every year by a reputable FAA repair station. All pertinent 'AD's' and Glassair bulletins complied with. 
Complete Digital avionics including full Autopilot with upgraded auto-level function, ADSB-in/out, WX,  new tundra tires, upholstery as new including spacious rear seat w/monogrammed belts.  Modern, subtle paint scheme with broad appeal. Flown at least several hours a year every year. 
Price has been harshly negotiated by a very aggressive foreign gentleman who subsequently dropped out. We were fixing his every squawk, even finding a NFG standby horizon in the process. All  Squawks have been addressed and we will share details.. Owners have asked for a sale.  Call to discuss.  We have a dry, clean, well equipped plane here.  It looks, runs and flies like new.  
Here are the specs:  
226 hours total time, airframe and engine.  Superior Airparts IO-360. 
 No damage, all logs. This plane is an understated eye catcher.  Coordinated paint/interior color by well known designer. 
Full Advanced Digital PFD/MFD dual panels, GNS 430 WAAS, additional Garmin 696 with traffic and full in/out ADSB, Sirius.  
TruTrak autopilot w altitude pre-select and climb rate, Garmin GMA 340 audio panel, Garmin SL 40 #2 comm and  430 GPS Comm/nav for full 'IFR' functionality. Garmin ILS/CDI indicator. Garmin XPNDR ADSB. 
Co-pilot side digital Advanced MFD.  Yoke mounted 'Chinese hat' electric trim and PTT.  Standby Artificial Horizon and Altitude. 
Hangared since new in a clean, dry, heated New Mexico hangar.
Price has been lowered again to allow for a quick sale to a realistic party; owner has lost medical and is moving. 
We've had buyers demand intense scrutiny down to wire gauge and latest updates: all is in order and ready to fly. Bottom line, it's a very nice plane at a VERY attractive price point.

No it's not rusted. It has been in a clean dry hangar and had its oil changed, and has run, every year. 
Engine bay looks new.  No issues.
Flown at least a few hours every year.  Dry New Mexico hangar.  No corrosion.  Zero.  
Oil changed every year.  Flying more often now by me a 4500++ hour ATP/MEI/Rotor/SES/Balloon pilot who does "know the difference".  I dont know what wire gauge was used on the AP pin connectors because, well, who really cares? 
I know this plane is like new and priced like an 80's 172.
