I know a few members who would jump at the chance to ferry the airplane from where it is now to anywhere it needs to end up ... I'm sure the price would be right!
Yeah I did look into that. But I figured at *least* $500 in gas to get it up here and a $150-250 one way ticket for the ferry pilot to get home - plus whatever they charge and incidentals. It's winter, I bet there is a hotel in there somewhere for the pilot. Then a $250 round trip ticket to see it, plus rental car, plus hotel for a night. Getting from Seattle to San Diego isn't cheap, very few direct flights.
Anyway adding it all up there is potentially $2,000 or more in the entire purchase process until tied down locally and whoever flew it is on their way. It's hard to justify with at least two decent low engine time airplanes in the state for $20k-23k.
Like I said, if it was near me, I'd already own it.
......based on the numbers you're still $3-6K ahead of the local ones after those additional costs you're talking about have been added to the purchase price
