Also love to know where you can get a "top of the line beauty" 7X for $40mil.

And agree...the book is a pretty good read.

When Dassault first introduced the 7X, in fact the name had yet to be decided on, the early buyers could lock in a price in that range*. We placed a deposit on, I believe, serial number 11. We had just bought a 900EX at the time.

Course, then the boss lost a ton of money, we sold the 900EX and used the deposit on the 7X to buy a new 50EX.




* To be honest, I really cannot remember the actual price, as it was a long time ago. However, it was not near $50 million USD.

There were a lot of variables in those "lock in" figures....much of it depended on delivery time and number of aircraft ordered. Dassault was cutting no real bargains on 7Xs - even to the most loyal buyers...They stuck to their "market preservation" strategy during the fall and it seems to have worked....I have heard Falcon owners say this is a large reason is why they stick with Dassault when it comes to investing in a new corporate jet.


Whatever works!

yeah, likely...even right now $50mil seems to be the number...I'd consider picking one up myself for the bargain price of 40..

Chump Change for you, huh?? Some of us smaller bargain hunters are still in the 20's range.

Don't be in a rush son....you are getting there. Remember, people get hurt when they take the training wheels off too soon.
