    I know what I would do. While you can still get one of the last ones I'd check with Thompson CAT glider dealer in LaVergne, TN and get a big brand new W900L or 389 you can really enjoy driving preferably with an exempt E model engine in it.

    Have to go full Kitty Mommy. Anything less, may as well have a mid roof pro star.

    Cat,if it is not too much trouble could you ask what the difference in price and weight would be if you spec'd it with MX13,Paccar gearbox and single screw with a pusher?
    I think some on TTR would like to compare both.

    The rock bottom i could grind KW down on a 2020 680 was $144.5 with the 500K mile warranty. That's the X15 / 500HP / Auto / 76 or 72 inch double bunk.

    They wouldn't come down the othe 500 bucks or I'd bought it.

    A junkcar motor you could probably get at about $130K.

    A new Volvo with a D13 $133K

    Freightliner is very proud of their Cascadia's, they are nearer $150K.
