A jet broker walks a buyer through a $13.5 million 2005 Bombardier Global Express. The buyer currently flies a 1999 Learjet 35A and has $10-15 million to spend on a larger aircraft within six months.
I saw your advertisement for a Global Express.
Yes, sir. It's your, uh, 2005. What can I tell you?
How much are you wanting for it?
$13,500,000. Are you doing this for a customer?
No, we are currently— we have a small jet at the moment. We have a little Lear 35A.
Wow, Lear 35. I mean, that airplane's got to be about 50 years old.
It's a '99, I think it is. We had such success with that little one, that's why we're looking at the older Global Expresses to do the same thing, to then put our mark on it.
Are you gonna keep that airplane, obviously for shorter trips or— So-called our local jet is that one. That works very well. What's your time period you think you're gonna be looking to buy?
It's gonna be probably in the next 6 months.
And what's your budget?
It's around that ballpark between around the $10 to $15 million.
And the airplane is US-based too, just so you know. That's exactly what we want. Yeah, that's a real inquiry. I mean, they have a, that airplane they have is, I was only joking, 50 years, but That airplane's probably got to be about 30 years old. It's a real customer, and there's probably a potential he is going to buy something before the end of the year. Just from that short phone call, it was easy to tell.
