Aircraft Brokers

[patq1]

I just did a search on Dassault Falcon airplanes. They have a nice website with service centers and airplanes for sale. We have always went back to the factory for most of our major maintenance. I'm sure the company would demo a plane for you or help in the buying processs. I don't understand the need for a broker when dealing with a company that made the airplane. Dassault Falcon has a good reputation and are not going to rip you off.

It depends on what you call getting ripped off. Dassault, like any other company, is going to make the most money that they can get on a transaction. The buyer's broker is there to get you the best deal as well as to protect you from things that are hidden in the paperwork. Doing a pre-buy inspection doesn't cover all of the things that can bite you. I have seen a deal that was done in good faith by both parties but problems were uncovered years down the road that a good broker would have been able to avoid. You are paying the broker for his knowledge and experience. Obviously you need to make sure that you get a broker with the knowledge and experience to be able to do the job for you.

I would go to Dassault Falcon to buy my airplane, unless your getting a kick back from your broker. Did you know it's common for brokers to give a finders fee?? The Dassault Falcon company would either have a plane for sale or know of one they had history in the past. Pre-buy inspection does not cover all things, so buying it from someone that stands behind it would be very smart. Your broker is not going to make things right, but Dassault Falcon would.

I don't know if your confused or getting a kick back from your broker!

I don't know why you have so much faith in Dassault to not maximize their profit but I hope that works out for you.

You know that alert and explosion sound that Clark Howard has on his radio program? That's going off in my head right now. Saying that Dassault is not going to rip you off, especially on a pre-owned is like saying that the local car dealership wouldn't rip you off. Ford Pinto or Falcon 50EX, they are the same. Get a broker to represent you- have him protect your side of the deal- he'll find a quality airplane and arrange the escrow, pre-purchase inspection, etc. Then he'll stand behind the airplane after that as well- a good broker doesn't just sell you the airplane and walk away with a check. He'll stay in the deal for the life of the airplane and hopefully sell it for you when you move up to the Global Express.A good broker becomes as much of an extension of your flight department as your MRO shop.

I'm sure Dassault makes a living from ripping off their owners. I also think all airplane companys are in the business to take advantage of owners. Your funny dude!

Think you should pay those airplane brokers fees and get your kickback. If you can't trust Dassault in buying a plane. I would never buy one from them in the first place.

The airplane companys I have dealt with in the past. Have excellent reputations, unlike your brokers.

Makes a lot of sense. You fly an airplane so you know how to buy them.

Falcon is a non profit entity looking out for rich guys who can afford $40 million jets. Right.....

Just how dumb can you be? Go buy your boss a jet....

I noticed you never have very many positive post on here. Seems to me your into flamebait comments.

Don't know if a bigger font helps to prove a point or not. Maybe it helps after drinking a few beers on a Friday night.

I have good friends that could not make it flying, so decided making a living as airplane brokers. They might be able to find you planes for sale, but most people can by themselves. The paperwork is also no big mystery to figuare out. Maybe a good pre-buy inspection from a Falcon maintenance place.

This is really rocket scientist stuff....
