Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Airplanes Only WTB - Cream Puff 150/152

Looking for an extremely nice 150 or 152. Must have nice exterior, interior, no corrosion and low to mid-time engine. I am in Texas but willing look at aircraft outside the local area if they meet my criteria. Cash buyer for the right airplane. Please respond to this post, or send details and photos to helmpilot at icloud dot com

Welcome to the forum. Have you seen This One ?

Yes I have. Nice plane and along the lines of what I'm looking for, just don't want to pay the $$$ premium for an Aerobat. I don't plan on doing any aerobatics, just low and slow with my wife and/or son.

Here's a solid one. [barnstormers.com]

If you specify "cream puff" then you'll be paying cream puff prices. If you want a solid little 150 then there are a LOT of them out there.

Willing to pay Cream Puff prices if the plane justifies it.

There are a number of very nice planes on trade a plane at the moment. Club members occasionally offer “for sale” on our forum to fellow club members prior to sale to the general public. If you are patient, you will find a good aircraft at a reasonable price.

Still looking. Crazy how hard it is to find a good one.

Craig, it took me most of a year to find my “not a cream puff” airplane. I was looking for one with a low engine time, complete logs, no significant damage history, under a certain price, well maintained, with a standard 6 pack, J model or newer.

I’m sure you’ll find the right plane eventually. Keep looking, it’ll happen

Can you describe the definition or your interpretation of Cream Puff?

My preference would be a true 9+ paint, 9+ glass, 9+ interior, decent avionics, engine that hasn't been sitting but has at least half it's time left to TBO. Maybe more of a unicorn than a cream-puff, but I know there are some out there. Willing to pay a premium for this. I had one of these located and a deal made, but buyer got sellers remorse and backed out before the deal was complete.

I'd also look at a good solid plane that meets the engine, interior and avionics equipment above but has older paint - but expect to pay closer to market price for something that isn't exceptional. I've had a couple of these but they were too far away and by the time I jumped a local buyer had picked them off.
