Morning Hung!
You're right. But for for me, I'm not so sure. By the time I'd buy a good C152 airframe, overhaul the engine, disassemble clean and reassemble, while rewiring and re-rigging the entire plane, rebuild the brakes and all other peripheral systems, repair all corrosion and repaint, replace the entire interior, including a new custom panel, I'd be surprised if I were much below his asking price, since I would hire every bit of that done by a shop. Not to mention the price I'd pay to avoid the headaches.
