TRANSCRIPT
Simply... The Best Performance Per Dollar!
The Best Performance Per Dollar —and Still the Best Value in the Industry!
We recently pulled a July 20, 2000 pricing sheet from the archives, ran all of the numbers, and discovered that we are an even better
deal today than we were in Y2K! A Sonex Complete Airframe Kit in 2000 was priced at $11,120. Run that against the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ CPI Infl ation Calculator, and that equates to $15,287.48
in today’s dollar for a year 2000 kit with far-fewer features.With the April 6, 2015 Sonex kit price at $17,495, that’s
an increase in price of only $2,208 over 15 years!
