Sorry for the delay, I've been out of town this weekend.

Thanks for posting the details Henry, like Jim, I'm instinctively cautious about the extensive repairs. It sounds like anything that needed to get done was done, but something to keep in mind regardless.

$85,000 is a good price for the plane with a brand new engine and the avionics package it has in it, but out of my budget for a 172 smile .

I may go 182... the temptation is strong. Regardless, I'm looking at least a few months before I make any firm decisions smile .

Best of luck to Jim on the sale... this is a very tough situation for him frown .
