I think the seller is expecting to get all the money back from avionics and interior work. Hope they realize soon that simply isn't how it works.

As far as this price versus a 4-place, well, that's true, but I think over time the total cost of ownership is still way better on a 152, even at this price. When you start adding seats, you start adding dollar signs to almost every part of ownership. Annuals are more expensive, replacement parts are more expensive, insurance is more expensive, fuel burn can be more expensive depending on the length of a flight. These are the factors many fail to consider when it comes to aircraft ownership or upgrading to a larger, faster aircraft, and it gets a lot of owners in financial trouble more quickly than they can cope with.
