I'm getting ready to sell my 150. It has been a delight to own and never gave me any nasty surprises at annual or any other time.
This 150 has had very few owners and as far as I know has been hangared continuously since at least 1978 or earlier. Always a midwest plane it's pretty free of corrosion issues. Now and then there is a spot, but never a problem area, so far. It's got about 2800TT and around 925 SMOH with a new cam at that time. I knew the overhauler as he use to own it, it was his wife's engine for her 150 and he was very proud of both her and that engine. He told me he put special care into that rebuild and I have no reason to doubt him. He died about 5 years ago so questions for him are no longer possible. That plane was later wrecked (wings only) and her engine installed in my plane.
It has a Lowrance 2000 color GPS that works great and is a clean panel mount with no external wires. The intercom is the same. I hate loose wires in the cabin. I've had it for just about 10 years and have loved this little bird. It has a nice blue interior and a nice paint job on the exterior.
in the past 9-10 years it has had some upgrades Icom 200 new about 9 years ago New DG brand new carpeting (blue) still waiting for it to come. skytek starter new battery ordered today new mag on one side new wiring for mags new window seals are on order window latch's nose gear linkage rebushed prop balanced 2 cylinders redone
It's been a very reliable bird and I hope to have as good a luck on my next one. This has been my third plane and was by far the best of the three in every way.
The interior looks nice and the exterior does too. But not as nice as some of the more famous airplanes in our group. It rates a solid pretty good in my book.
Ref has it at $18500 without the paint and interior upgrades (not new), and without several of the other extras I have put in it. Two brokers and two local 150 owners that know it all told me I should ask around $21,000
It does have old accident history. The last I remember reading about was 1978 or so. Wing tip damage during taxi. The first 10 years of logs are long gone, but the overhaul is in there. I put a small dent in the horizontal stab on the right side. It should get a new windshield and will if I keep it.
Let me know if you have any interest. If I sound a bit sentimental and attached to this bird, I am. Cathie would rather I keep it.
