This is the second time I have used Light Aircraft Sales, as a buyer and a seller and on both occasions I found Nicholas to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable, he goes the extra nautical mile to connect buyers with sellers

Thanks for the review Peter! We thought that extra 15.08% over the statute mile would be appreciated. Thanks again for your custom. And congratulations on your recent purchase too!

Hi Trevor, thank you for the 'kind words' and your review! The New Zealand version of the Australian language certainly stumps us regularly, so perhaps next time we can agree that there will be 'thungs' we 'niva' will 'understind' from across the 'detch' . Glad to deal with you - and enjoy your new aircraft! It was a pleasure.

Nicholas was professional

Nicholas was professional in all his dealings, his advice was well founded and appropriate.
He found several potential buyers in a short period of time and the aircraft sold quickly. Evan with the difficulties of trading during this pandemic.
I felt the fee’s were realistic and I thought quite reasonable.
Very happy with the service provided.

Excellent! Nicholas at Sport Aircraft Sales handled the sale of my J-160 perfectly and at a time when the market was very difficult. I believe he achieved to best price for me that was available within the timeframe I had requested and his communication and administration was also very good. Highly recommended. -AM

Excellent service!

Thanks Nicholas for your great professional service at all times.

I have bought a really special aircraft from really special people and the bonus was that the aircraft was just 'up the road' as well!

The whole process was seamless and a great outcome for ALL parties.

Thankyou

Nicholas made my first aircraft purchase seamless during the testing time of Covid-19. He was very flexible in handling the negotiations with the overseas seller and myself. Making for a positive result for both parties. Thanks again. Will recommend you in future.

Great service

Nicholas provided a great service and the whole deal went smoothly. There were a few questions I needed answering but it was no problem for Nicholas who made quick contact with the vendor and despite the time differences between NZ and Perth good communication was maintained. He also provided me with the name of a shipping agent who has also worked out well as they were prepared to work with the vendor and organise shipping arrangements when needed.

Hi Steve, many thanks for the comments and feedback. We look forward to hearing when the aircraft arrives. The transaction was a pleasure all 'round. The aircraft should be fantastic for you - and we look forward to seeing it in its new NZ rego markings!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

You went well

You went well, I think the advice to put a high price on the plane meant it was slower to sell.
The price agreed was less than I would have liked, but then I agreed to even lower as I just could not face further trying to sell. I know I should have stood back and not agreed to lowering the price.

Hi Ian, thanks for your comments and review. It was a pleasure selling the aircraft on your behalf. The decision to sell your own aircraft is often a difficult one. Thank you for your instructions throughout.
