I have learned that buying a plane is not that easy. Everyone says they have complete logbooks and their planes never been involved in an accident....great, until the logbooks are checked by a mechanic and things start to appear. I am doing another pre buy this thursday and hope that evrything goes well.
Felipe,
We have a number of members in Florida. If you'd like you might want to ask one of them to come along with your during your pre-buy. Although it sounds like you have a critical eye for spotting problems, it helps to (as the old Packard ads would say) "ask the man who owns one".
Steve Mayotte said any potential buyer should have a "buying buddy" come along with them when checking out a plane for sale. Someone who has been there and can help spot the problems only an owner will know about, tell you what can be ignored and what can't, and generally act as a voice of calm and reason.
