Well it IS a '18' 1973 Cessna 150... As we all know anything that begins with the '18' is all that!

The avionics looks a little dated but the King KX170B's are almost bullit proof. If one goes south you can get a slide in replacement for under 2K. I can see only 1 nav indicator and they do not mention if it is ILS equiped. Just some things to think about. IMHO, if it is as advertised, it would be a good buy.

Most likely I will be taking a closer look on Tuesday. Any other thoughts? I should go forward with a prebuy, correct? Ballpark, what would that cost me?

I forewent the pre-buy, and just had an annual done. Cost=$1,100... in western North Carolina, circa 2006. To answer your question further................, It depends.

When was the last annual done?, What is your comfort level in just getting a "pre-buy" inspection, and how badly do you just want to get the plane out of there! Maybe, You've struck a good deal, and you just need to get it home?(fly it like you stole it! grin )

I think a pre-buy would typically run about 50% from a mechanic that could do you an annual, before you fly it away. That being said, I hope someone here is available to check a plane out for you, you find a plane that has just been annualed, and you find the plane of your dreams!

Best of luck.

Was emailed the logs today...noticed from the pictures the nose is painted a darker gray than the rest of the plane. I will be taking a closer look tomorrow.
