Car shopping right now is a miserable experience. There’s no new inventory, used inventory is scant and ultimately you’re going to be overpaying. And that’s a problem, because people need cars.
But before you lament your own inability to buy a car, take a moment and spare a thought for the real victims of post-pandemic over demand and under supply: private jet customers. They’re people just like you and me and they’re hurting, folks. New business jets can’t be made fast enough, and the secondhand market is bone dry, per Reuters:
“There are virtually no young pre-owned aircraft available - good news for would-be sellers and for (planemakers),” said aviation analyst Rolland Vincent.
He recalled one trucking company’s recent search for a pre-owned Gulfstream jet: “There was one aircraft in the world that fit their requirements.”
One Gulfstream in all the world! Now, of course these individuals could just fly first class, but they’d rather not to do that these days.

Well, Bezos has been waiting 3 years for his super yacht.

What happened to Rush’s EIB 1 ?
Maybe to be put in a museum?
good...
helps them reduce their carbon footprints... 😂
I would settle for a turboprop. Pilatus PC-12NG would be my choice.
There is also Set Jet which is more a charter service. Both are expensive, but I suspect as more of these alternative flight companies startup, prices will come down, especially with more pre-owned jets becoming available.
“There’s no new inventory, used inventory is scant and ultimately you’re going to be overpaying.”
ALL of which are direct consequences of the Biden trillions as people go on insane spending sprees with “free” money all at the same time, with no possibility of our economy having the time to grow organically to meet the demand in a rational fashion ...
And the trucking companies complain they can't find truckers and the truckers complain the pay is s**t?
Amazing.
Sob away.
I’ve no problem with the rich being rich.
They just have more opportunities than I did.
Hmm...I wonder if I should sell one or two of mine?
I think Rush had a fractional ownership in EIB 1.
We just sold ours. It was a 15 passenger Chevy Express 3500 with a 7.4 motor.
I can’t decide if it’s Donald Trump’s fault or global warming.
