A few months ago, I went to a local private grass strip to take some photos of a plane for a club member. The seller mentioned that a guy from Canada was supposed to come by that afternoon to look at the plane. The guy did show up, bought it, and flew it home that evening. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 2,706 Likes: 155 Member/2500+posts | | Member/2500+posts Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 2,706 Likes: 155 | Yes, just got off the phone with the owner and evidently the person did not show up today to look at it. He will take a non refundable deposit of $1000, but I need to have someone (Hi Gary!)look at it by Sunday.

Good luck with it. Let's hope it's 'the one'....

If he tells you the condition is X, Y & Z and the inspection confirms X, Y & Z you pay him.
On the other hand, if you find A, B & C....the deals off.
Good luck but keep in mind, it's not the only one out there on the market.

If it didn't happen, it wasn't meant to be....the "better" deal is waiting for you.
Never let a "buy" become emotional despite all these airplane nuts around here.

That almost sounds like a scam. If that is the king of person you were dealing with, you are probably better off! | | |
