Kind of like that 4 engined Lockheed corporate Jetstar. Who in their right mind wants a four engine corporate jet? Those engines were run on Hawkers, Citations, Falcons, etc, it'd be like running 2 of those other jets with one fuselage! So you could buy an unwanted one for $700K or less. Go ahead, waste your money.
Of course one savvy mechanic at a TFE overhaul location figured something out, those desirable engines hanging on the pylons of an undesirable jet are worth $2M+. So buy the jet for $700K and sell the engines for a quick net of $1.3M. Smart guy.
