Mogas is a huge sales point in Germany and the other countries which do have it.
The 210 also has a decent fuel quantity, so it may even be worth tankering at places where you get it
In Switzerland in most small airfields there is either UL91 or Mogas available. So if that engine is UL91 capable too, it is quite nice.
I would look closely at that plane if we were expecting a third child

Why would you install a brand new wing spar ? Terrible corrosion ? So the plane must be totally corroded ?

It only takes some pitting at the wrong place and you could be beyond repair : it is a highly-stressed critical part. Just imagine the load of 10m+long wings on it at 3800lbs, 4g’s…
It may or may not be a signal of general neglect.
This airplane has obviously had a lot of money spent on it, which is not usually a sign of general neglect. A proper inspection is warranted, of course.
@Pilot_DAR would know a lot about this particular issue…

The two issues don’t necessarily have anything to do with each other. The wing spar in a C210 runs through the roof of the cabin and in some / many model years had some sort of foam installed beneath it. This was a terrible decision on behalf of Cessna engineering, as that foam soaks up moisture which in turn can lead to corrosion of the wing spar. To make it worse, that foam was glued to the spar, so you had to rip it out to inspect the spar. The issue wasn’t widely understood for years and you can have a perfectly maintained C210 with a corroded spar. I vividly recall the collective breath-holding in our club when we did the inspection. It passed… That episode is also where I get the +/- $80k figure for a new spar from, as that’s what the shop quoted us for a replacement in case it wouldn’t pass. I am somewhat surprised as to why the airplane in this ad had the work (and everything else) done as AFAIK a C210 with a failed spar inspection typically is scrapped or parted out.
Price reduced to 119 k +VAT
Would be interesting to hear what trouble she makes.
Won’t trade in my steed, heck no. Only out of curiosity.
It seems that a significant amount of information has gradually been removed from the ad.

Hilarious
Sounds like an almost non-sellable item. Donation option?
I am a bit surprised anybody is still willing to pay the bloody maintenance bills for such aircraft …
A rare Autofuel example experiment, wing spars changed, crack in crankcase, damage history … uh-uh. The extensive list of work done reads as if somebody meant to fetch up quite some abuse over years and found out it is not worth it? Abandoned the project to revive an almost beaten to death bird? Underestimated the extreme costs to get an old aircraft to newer standards? Found out non-pressurized in that class is sub-optimal? Somebody willing to throw the next conspiracy aluminium hat?

I don’t see that? What information? But the most interesting thing is that in the last update to the ad, the aircraft is suddenly “VAT free”.
