I have a chance to buy a used Becker 2.25" radio out of a plane with 225 hrs total time on it. I was thinking of buying an MGL at about $1,100 new. The Becker is about $1,600 new. Anyone have an estimate on the value of the used "almost new" Becker?

you don't want that Steve ..why don't you give me the sellers number and name and I will give him heck for trying to sell you that ....ha ha ha just kidding,,I hear they are good radio's,.. that sounds like low time but some guys take 5 years to put that much time on their planes..hangared all the time? dry ? can you bench test it?
Chase,
Ya, I'll get that number right off to you...ya, right:D
Always hangared Bearhawk. I fly with the owner a lot and have used the radio many times. It works great. It's a second radio for him and he is changing his entire panel to a 10" Dynon Skyview, Dynon radio and Dynon transponder ADSB in/out.
I'm thinking of offering him $500 but don't want to seem like a shmuck.
I'd have to take a chance and offer $800 and wait for a rebound of around a grand then counter for $900.00 :D so $900.00 ,.but then I'm cheap lol
if you cant get it for less then the MGL that you want then ,,,,,
if you get it for $500 ask him if he has another :)
you could call an avionics shop and tell them your looking to upgrade and you have a low time becker,..ask what they would allow on trade ...then use that knowledge to make an offer?
Good idea. Thanks.
