I guess perhaps I wasn't clear, but yes he is asking 37K for her. I hope to give him a reality check by presenting him with copies of the classifieds. I honestly think he is merely out of touch with the market as he has just this past week decided to sell her.
No I don't have a mechanic yet but thanks for the advice. I'll get busy talking to the local airports to see what's available.
Buy the way, he has indeed offered to share all logs, receipts etc. with me already. I haven't taken him up on it because quite frankly I wouldn't know what all to look for anyway. I think finding the mechanic is my next step so I can have someone to look at that stuff who knows what they are looking at.
Thanks, Rusty
