Does anyone have a good idea what a Javelin system would be worth in today's market?
It was removed from an early 172 and is complete except for the tank mounted fuel gauge. The current owner has no use for it and neither do I at the moment but they aren't making any more of them.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: Value of a Javelin Tank System?
How do you know it's a complete system? Because someone said so? Do you have the installation drawings and instructions? Does it include the belly-vent? (I've seen three systems which are secondary installations and NONE of them were "complete".)
As for value, it's the same as purchasing an airplane: Conditon, Completeness, Documentation. If truly compete with all parts/documentation and good condition, I'd venture a value of about $600.) Installation will be 15-20 man-hours.

Richard,
Of course George is right concerning completeness of the system.
I was going to say I seem to remember seeing systems over the years with asking prices between $600 and $1500 with the $1500 being a completedocumented like new system. Don't know if or what they really sell for.
