2011 R 172

We have an offer for a 2011 (new not titled) R 172, they will throw in the R Dome, Anti sway hitch, prep, install the brake controller, fill up lp tank etc, and throw in another 1 year warranty because 2011 is almost over, price ? $12,830. I think I gotta go with it, I am 62 and cutting down on hours at work, wife and I are ready to try travel trailer camping, you think I should go for it, is this a good price?

Tech is right - a very reasonable deal.  The RP 172 does not have a slideout, right?  (That was the clincher for my deal, and maybe I paid a little much to get the slideout, but I like the extra space.)

Yeah Hodge, no slides but for the 2 of us that used to tent camp a little and sleep in the back of the trailblazer this is a real improvement. looking forward to pulling the pod. its a R-172 and as a licensed pilot my log is already signed off for 172's , ha ha, this is a different type of flying. see ya on the road.

Not a bad price at all considering what they were throwing in to make the deal.  Welcome to the world of podding.  

Hey Diane I understand , I am also an old tail wheel pilot, I had a 1946 Taylorcraft.  I still love flying but I have to be realistic, flying is an expensive sport, I found a sweet 1964 Cessna 172 with 1800 hrs tt. NDH, it was at Seymour Indiana, but my wife said the only 172 your flying is the R-172. Life is but a compromise, Maybe I can get into plein aire painting with the pod, I am picking it up tomorrow morning, wish me luck, thats for the reply. Dane
