The accident databases are updated to reflect the new N number, so you should be able to look it up in the NTSB database, shouldn't you?

Of course, there's nothing for this particular aircraft in that database....

Also, I thought that the FAA CD was based on serial number. I could be wrong....

From the pictures, the "N" number does not meet the requirements of FAR part 45.21 that requires them to be a contrasting color. The center stripe color and N number are nearly the same shade.

This is my opinion and could become an issue to the new owner.

Bill, I was thinking the same thing!

JC,

You made me think (now I have a headache!)

The FAA CD request requires both N number and serial number, so it may be possible to request the old records under the old N number. If I were seriously interested in this aircraft, it would be worth the $6.95 each for two CD's, one for each N number! Perhaps the old data would be included on the newer CD, since the serial number is involved. I dunno!

Makes you wonder if the paint job was done by someone who knows airplanes.

Yeah, Jeff, I like to work that way myself. But if I am buying a used item, and the price seems high, I'll take along Vince!!!

Same here!

I hate to haggle! The price I ask is the price I expect! But, I realize MOST sellers want bargaining room, so I'd never pay asking price unless I'm sure they won't take less, and I'm sure it's worth the price!

I am of the same mind as you, Jeff. I do not like to haggle, or to be haggled. I will take it or leave it at the price quoted. And nothing irks me more then to have somebody's first question to be, "Will you take less for it?" Especially when they have even yet to inspect what I am selling.

But that seems to be primarily an American trait. My brother hosted a German student. She just could not understand why we Americans would so willing pay the asking price. My brother was constantly getting chastised by her. With her all prices were negotiable. It is a way of life with her. For me, it is demeaning for both me and the seller to ask for a lower price.

$33,000 for a 100 HP 150? My opinion?

Reminds me of a story: A former coworker named Jeff had a high-school job running the counter at a service station. One day a foreigner came in to pick up his car after repairs. Jeff checked the records, found the invoice and told the customer, "Yes sir, your car is all ready. The bill came to $328.62".

The customer replied in heavily accented english, "Ah! And now we will haggle....".

With that, Jeff called the manager to the front.

I'll make it an even 300 dollars. That's giving you $28.62 credit from the testicle I'm fixing to rip right out of your britches! Now, Pay UP, you worthless..........
