I've looked through sooo many aircraft listings online and got excited about a "good deal" I think I've spotted based on the purchase price. Then once you look through the listing you realize there's a good reason it's priced the way it is. In this video I wanted to cover some of the factors driving low aircraft prices, and a more effective way that I've learned to do aircraft research if you're serious about buying one day.
I hope it serves you in your aviation journey!
