I'm very early in this journey to buy, and it'll not be this year. But I'm reading the Club's book, as well as all the forums here, and watching eBay, Trade a Plane, and more ... trying to educate myself as much as I can.
So take this plane for example on eBay:
1971 C-150 [
cgi.ebay.com]
Only 3616 TT and 617 on engine. Not a trainer. Flip flop radio , GPS, transponder. Just going by the times and the photos, it really looks good to me.
BUT ... logs from the 1970s are missing. AND ... the dash panels are three different colors. Hmmmm. Possible wreck back in the '70s and then logs went missing? Or maybe someone just wanted new plastic dash pieces and got some used ones not caring about color?
But if its been flying fine for 30 years since ....
So am I seeing legitimate red flags? Would the missing logs make this worth less than the $23k being asked?
(ETA: Is this a club member?)
