Well I made an offer on a 1979 C152 IFR equipped and certified. Any issues I should be aware of? Anything special I should ask my AME to look for in the prepurchase inspection? Oh and what would you think this plane is worth? I'll tell you what I offered afterwards.

Go to the "Hangar" section and use the "Search FAA Airworthiness Directives (ADs)" to print a list of ADs for that model and equipment. That will help your mechanic if he's not real familiar with 152s.


Do you want my answer to make you feel good or bad?

>Do you want my answer to make you feel good or bad?

LoL well I have my own personal opinion which is that I shouldn't be paying extra money for a bunch of out dated avionics that I probably wont use. i.e. ADF etc. However, I'm none the less doing just that. I offered 32000.00 US they were asking $37000 US.

For some unknown reason planes seem to sell for a bit more up here in Canada. Not sure why but I figure even at 32000 thats going to be more than most would pay in the US for an IFR certified 152 with low time. But it was about the best deal that I've seen in the 9 months that I have been looking.

Sure I've seen much cheaper but they were close to TBO or had 15000 TT on them.
