Delta to buy used Boeing 777 for just $7.7 million
As a point of comparison, Boeing’s list price for a new 777-200ER is $277.3 million, meaning Delta is buying a used 777 at a price 97.2% lower than the value of a new 777. (atwonline.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Also it needs a D check and a new interior, which will run $30-40MM.
Given her age, major overhauls are going to be absolutely necessary and avionics! There is a big bunch of dough needed for more than overhaul, I see complete rebuild. I don't really know how much they are going to be spending to get this aircraft back into top airworthiness but you will have, essentialy, a brand new plane for pennies on the dollars, not to even the time frame from order date to delivery date. If this is a true sound, useable airframe the airline is going to way ahead of the game in terms of time and cost. There is no double that has had top engineers crawling all over this cigar tube with note pad and calculator. Seems like they came out with some pretty good news. I am, among other things, an old car buff, old fire truck buff, basically an old anything buff. We have a solid frame and superstructure here that can be totally renewed. I would have problem flying this bird when it is back on flight status.
Probably more like quarters on the dollar, but still a deal if the airframe is sound.
The fair market value of any object is the amount upon which the buyer and seller agree in the exchange. Are engines and avionics included in the price?
Sorry but you got confused with Lockheed recent pricing criteria for the last F-35 blocks, remember "$ 80 million MINUS engines" (LIMAO)
It's not surprising that you can get a 1990s 777 with ~100,000 hours on it for pennies on the dollar.
