I have a few prospects....
1. 150F, 9000TT, 990SMOH, good history, full logs, minor damage history years ago, average paint/interior, average avionics, hangered last 15 years, price $26K.
3 owners and not really willing to negociate on price, which I feel is high?
This one flies 10 to 15 hrs per year and is maintained by one of the owners.
2. 1977 150M. Mid time engine, not sure TT, uncared for, parked in the weeds with a colapsing nose strut. No covers ( the owner had one but never got around to using it!) interior a mess, $18K. Owner has lost interest it flies very little.
3. 1974 150L. 5000TT, 1650 SMOH, present owner was a one aircraft flight school now defunct, but most of it's time was flying patrol (has log range tanks). Only 4 owners since import to Canada in the 1980's, present owner has put on 3500 of these hours. Average paint, interior and avionics. This aircraft has been maintained to commercial standard and has had all the Cessna SID inspections. I've not yet seen it in person but a respected AME did a quick walk around for me. This owner wants to sell and quoted $14K over the phone. With 4 new cylinders I think this might be a prospect?
Remember the CAN$ is only worth 80c US.
I have found others of interest but all will require multi day driving trips/ferries etc to view along with the associated costs! I live on Vancouver Island.
What do you guys think??
