Hi again,
You guys are great! I already feel "at home" and in good hands. I have already started looking at other 150s using the links that Royson posted, and my head is about ready to explode.
For example, aicraft "A" has a "too" new engine, lousy radios and fair paint for $24.900. Aircraft "B" is $23.9K and the owner won't stop raving about it, but I hate the paint scheme. Aircraft "C" is a '68 with nice p&I, but just a bit high time engine, decent panel but at $25.9K. I am willing to pay to get more, but on the other hand I'm trying to keep the cost in the low 20's.
Yes, i realize that it's not easy to shop for old airplanes, and I'm limiting the search to just California. How come the supposed one that sounds the best ever is always located in NC or NJ? (no need to answer that!).
The more I look and call, the more I like the '69 with the slight wrinkle at $21.5. Hmmm... I know you all know how I feel. I (like many) just don't have the time to be flying (or driving) all over California to locate the ultimate cream puff. The other method I suppose, is to sit tight, and wait for the perfect one to fall in my lap.
Hmmm....
Perplexed in Fallbrook....
