Martin! You're welcome! You will save a lot of money and grief with the info you will get from this club! Our website has details on each model...the changes the good points and bad. Also our club sells an extremely good book on the 150 that I have really enjoyed.
The 150 in Alberta has been on planeboard for several months. That maybe a good point as the longer it's for sale usually, the more the seller will be willing to lower the price. When I first joined the club one of our members was selling a beautiful 150E in Rochester, NY near where I grew up. She is a beautiful 150 IFR equipped. The poor pilot who owned her had to sell her for financial reasons...he started at 20K...a reasonable amount and each month got more desperate and dropped it a $1,000. I think it eventually went for around 16K.....actually there are (in the USA unfortunately for you) a lot of 150s for sale in the 15-18K that are good planes and also sometimes ones their owners have poured a lot of money into but will not get it out.
Another idea is to see if one of our club members is closer to the 150 in Alberta to check it out for you....the best lowest cost wisest approach is to have a club member check...their only interest being love of the 150 and if no red flags are seen then recommend a PreBuy inspection by a good mechanic hopefully not the same one for the guy selling it.....then you "should" get a good deal....unfortunately ....these planes being 50 years old sometimes expensive surprises can happen But you will minimize the risk.
I live in Peoria, Arizona....in fact we have a lot of Canadians that come here in the winter and I was talking to members about a 150D I found in Lenoir, NC. Graeme Smith who lives in Rhode Island, contacted me and said hey I'm going to a flyin at Cleveland, SC and it's nearby Lenoir...I can check that 150 out for you....so I was going on vacation to see my Mom in Asheville 80 miles away and I met him there and we checked out the 150D. He showed me what to look for and I learned a lot. I wasn't ready to buy at that point but it helped me a lot in my search.
Actually, a few months ago I found an absolutely beautiful 65E in Arrowwood, Alberta! She photo wise is the prettiest E I have seen. Looks like a great plane, but I was hesitant for the same reason you are about importing an American 150. Anyway I can't remember the link I saw it on but it had a lot of px. I did find this one link that has it but you have to pay for it! I included it here in the links that follow.
