I'm facing reality.......... I think the GTS has to go

JH23JOB · June 10th, 2004, 06:39 PM

Since losing my job at Northwest Airlines in April of 2003, my savings have been slowly fading away, and my life has changed 180 degrees with the divorce from my wife.

Life is Grande !!

Anyhow, Unless someone here can put a 39 yr old guy with 10 years experience of Aircraft Maintenance to work for at least 40k a year doing ANYTHING, I'm gonna have to consider selling my '96 GTS.

This is a day that I thought I'd be able to avoid forever...... but I guess not.

This Blue and White has 36k on the odometer, and is in great shape. Do you think $45,ooo o.b.o. is out of line to ask ??

Feel free to call me if your interested to talk more

Dan,
They are always hiring here at Ft. Rucker. You should still have the app. I sent with all the numbers. I heard the starting pay was up to $16 per/hr with minimal experience. You would command more, I believe.

I went through two unemployment spells and still managed to keep my Vipers. Hang in there.

If you could move southeast I belive you could easily find work in your field.
$45k is a little on the high side for the miles. Good luck to you, you can always get another Viper.

edit: $45k obo is not out of line with the obo.

I agree. It's not out of the question. My buddy just sold his 96 GTS w/min mods & 40K miles on the ticker for $45K. Granted his GTS had an extended warranty until 2006. Just takes the right buyer at the right time. Good luck [img]/images/graemlins/smiles[/img]

Have you looked in other markets? I gotta think that they're hiring mechanics again.

Hang in there, keep your spirits up and good luck!

RUNNR had the same thoughts when he lost his job last spring. He was seriously considering selling the Viper.

Now, things have turned around, he's working for himself and he's GLAD he didn't sell the Viper.

Hang in there!
