Here is my very scientific blue book of KR values finely honed from years of
watching what KRs sell for.

Basic KR1               $6,500
Basic KR2               $8,000
Basic KR2S              $9,000

Values are basic VFR instruments with no gyros and one nav/com.  VW
1800-1900 for the KR1, and VW 2180 for 2 or 2S.  Based on well built flying
KR with average paint and under 300 hours and retract gear.

add Diehl or Grove fixed gear           +$1,000
add wheel pants                         +$300
Continental or Lycoming engine  +$2,000
Not currently flying                    -$1,000 or more depending on condition
add transponder                         +$500
very nice paint and interior            +$500
needs repainting                                -$500
cruise speed over 160 MPH               +$500
cruise speed under 140 MPH              -$500
required lights for night flight        +$400

I base these prices on what I have seen KRs sell for.  I need to add that
for what it costs in time and money to build one and for the fun,
performance, and economy you get out of a KR that they should sell for at
least $5,000 more.

Subject: KR> $8000.00 for it. Is this to much to pay?


Pends. If he was scared of it, why? If it has a retract, you will want to
change it. How clean is it? What condition is the motor in? Without looking
at it, I guess that it is probably too much, but it could also be a real
steal.
