I agree with Tom. Buy local. I had been looking on all the different web sites shopping for a 150/152. I found my plane by just visiting airports in a 50 mile radius. One of those unadvertised things. I would just ask around if anyone knew of a 2 seat trainer for sale. Really good deal. In dealing with local folks, you can ask the people, not related to the transaction, what they thought of the plane. I'm very happy with what I have. She ain't pretty, but she flys great.
