Wow! The 64D being the beauty she is did not last long on the market....21/2 weeks on Craig's list!

Rickloon and your wife great! Happy for you! Will be very interested in your experience with this 64D.

I'm not in a super hurry to buy as I can rent a 150 now ....and the longer I wait, the more informed decision I know I will be able to make!

Good luck and best wishes!

AOPA is really cheap. Call them... I think it's $35 or so... I think that's what I paid when I bought mine. They are really fast, too. I remember I called before 10 am Houston time, and before 3 pm, they got back to me and told me on the phone things were clear. It's cheap insurance. $35 isn't much to pay for peace of mind.

Must've been a while since you bought your plane. It's 75 bucks now [aerospacereports.com] . If you're an AOPA member, there's a $95 comprehensive package [aerospacereports.com] (discounted $65 from non-member price of $160).

The longer you wait, the longer your "flown-there map" will stay the same. grin

If you can offend an owner by asking the important questions, how can you trust him to have everything covered in the first place?

And remember, if he says NO to something, that's not necessarily a problem, if the compliance can be done.

Hung you're right! Ha! I'm not too adventuresome....actually to me just flying in the local area is a blast! grin

Seriously, every time I go to this site I learn something more about 150s and especially things to look out for when buying one....I'm so glad in retrospect that I didn't buy previous especially with the information I have learned....yes you very well may "luck out" when you buy but the more you know the better...Also the more you know about buying a 150 you get toknow what a bad deal is, an ok deal one you better act on right away....the latter being that beautiful 64D in Tucson.

Keith thanks for the advice as well!

Sheri & I live up by Paulden (north of prescot) on a little dirt stip (AZ-57) and I am hoping to pick up 27U this week end. We plan to get a tiedown at love field till she has her private, then bring her out to the strip. RE liens , call dot az for state liens,(they don't have to be filed with the faa to be valid) & send to faa for all air craft records (this will show liens filed with feds)
Rick
