Everything's gone up since then. Even with the economic downturn, under 30K is generally just the I's and II's and the occasional fixer-upper here and there.
The cost of new has crept up probably 5 to even 10 grand since I bought my plane a few years ago. That's assuming the 912 series engines which keep on jacking up and up. The jabirus seem to be holding fairly steady tho.
Course, so far the couple of the SS fleet that are for sale aren't moving, so we're probably still trying to find the market price for those. Either that or Bob and Don, etc. are still having too much fun with them ;)
I was thinking about selling mine for a while but finally came to my senses here a few months ago. With all the costs of new going up replacement is less and less a good idea and the plane is too good and too much fun to get rid of. Unless catastrophe strikes or something, I kind of don't want to know what mine's worth ;).
