It depends what part of the country .. .Fuel ranges from 3.90 to 6.50 a gallon... and let me just say they aren't 21 gallons either, more like 500 gallons. Then wait to you have to take it to maintenance.

All things considered I think I'd rather save up for the HondaJet. I was tempted by the lower price of the Cessna (almost a full million cheaper than the 3.65 million starting price of the Honda), but the Honda has a better cruise speed, and an extra 800 pounds of thrust across the 2 engines.

There's also the 9 extra cubic feet of baggage capacity. Plus it seems like the Honda can also fly just a bit higher.

Most importantly though, I think the real deciding factor was that the Honda is spec'ed for 1400nm trips, while the Cessna is spec'ed for 1150nm trips.

So really, it's well worth the extra million.

But anyways, enough threadcrapping, if you want a lower-priced jet in the "under 3 mill" category I guess this is your ticket this holiday season!

And don't worry, nobody can buy these to ebay because there's only one available. I guess you guys better keep refreshing on November 9th cuz only one lucky person is getting it!

It comes with a lifetime Sam's Club membership though, so that's one thing the Hondajet definitely doesn't come with...I mean you'll save like, $40 a year. So if you live to be 1 million years old, you could actually MAKE money on this deal.

Any word on it's stepping? I hear the week 2 jets overclock like a MF and you don't even have to do the wire trick on the pins.
 
Fine print says that there is only one and it goes to the first person that can transfer 275,000 USD into an account and can finalize the transaction.

Yep, just hire random straingers. But sorry, I had already promised the homeless guy a nice paying job as a pilot just before you posted. I do need a stewardess, what size dress do you wear?
 
This deal is warm at best. If it was at Costco I would jump on this in a second for they have a better warranty program and lifetime return pollicy.
Since its at Samns clum its warm at best.. Sorry for the thread crap. Does anyone know off hand if Costco is selling one, then I may have to jump on that deal 😀

I'm split between buying this or getting a used Avanti. Sure, you get something under warranty, but chicks digs men with futuristic aircrafts.

Avanti is made by the Italian Scooter giant Piaggio, best known for Vespa and now Aprillia.

And props are for boats.
 
I'd pay the difference and get a Pilatus PC12 anyday. Single engine turbo rating takes a lot less time to get. Notice the lack of a toilet on that plane. You'll find the wife and kids don't like to go anywhere with you when they can't pee for four hours.

If you have the money to buy a private jet, then you probably will be hiring someone to fly it for you; so the kind of licence needed won't matter too much.


EDIT: Just ask the pilot to slow down so you can pee out the window or have a hose installed that leads out the back of the plane.
