Default Ari Ben Increases Prices

I see Ari Ben went up another $2000 to $33,995 on their Pro Pilot program. These gas prices are getting out of hand.

When I first started considering them it was $29,995.

Don't scare me Brian....I thought it went up again. This price is about a month old. But I'm sure it will go up again, especially if you wait a year.

Well, I hadn't been to the website in a while, but I was going by my last issue of Flying Magazine. It was still $31,995 in that issue.

I agree, Brazil. All these price hikes scare me too! When do you plan on going to the "aviator"

Per their website it sounds as if they will lower the prices back down when/if the fuel rates decline

I'd like to see if they actually do that. If they do then kudos to them for passing along savings to the students...but I can just see the fuel prices coming down and then they have that much more cash in their pockets.

Well Tim, the cost of Cadillac ownership has risen considerably since then...don't mention Infiniti G35's. Prices have to reflect this upward trend.

Ive personally helped mike lower the price on the website a year ago and he was happy that day. Hes pissed when he has to raise the prices. I think his theory is that if you have lower prices than the competitor than more people come there.
