My wife was injured in an accident and I need to sell my plane.

Here are some of the improvements I have made to it.

· Rudder AD complied with, 11/09
· Replaced original equipment seat belts with new, upgrading to shoulder harnesses, 2/10
· New Warren Gregoire SX-101 push to talk grips, 2/10
· New wheel bearings all the way around, 9/10
· McFarland engine heater, 10/10
· New tires and tubes, 12/10
· New encoder to replace old failed unit, 3/11
· New McFarland fuel vent tube, 4/12
· New Tempest spark plugs, 4/13

Know issues. Mostly deferred due to my finances.
· Transponder certification is due. I don’t fly inside the Mode C veil or rent my plane out so I haven’t gotten it done yet. According to my PCAS, it’s working fine.
· The Slick magnetos (4301) are due for their 500 hour IRAN.
· The original equipment seats really need to be recovered (current pilots seat not original, see below)
· The left muffler is missing its internal baffle (I unknowing bought it this way)
· Windshield is 40+ year old original equipment and isn’t cracked but is somewhat crazed.
· Slightly out of rig. (Ball not centered) I haven’t been able to find anybody nearby that I would trust to rig it correctly.
· Usual Continental oil leaks.

Things that I’m going to keep that might be in the photos are my Zaon PCAS unit, SPOT locator, my GoPro mounts, headsets.

I also have a spare standard propeller, (no tag), O-200 cylinder, (no tag), and the original broken pilots seat. The seat needs the frame on it welded up.

I was thinking around $13,500 but the first $12,000 takes it. I have been told this is the worse time to sell. Many think the market has bottomed out but I’m not so sure. I sure don’t see it growing anytime soon. At least domestically. I hear the export market is going good though.

I just am getting to the point that I can’t afford to keep it anymore. Attached should be some photos.

It looks to me like somebody will get a bargain when they buy your C-150. Your price seems awfully cheap compared to what I have seen. Good luck and God bless.
