You have some very good advice here from those who have gone thru the buying process...I'm still looking...dreaming...anyway myself I wouldn't have a problem with trusting a club member that a 150 was worth a look even if it were far away.

From my friends here on this club website the number one concern buying a 150 is corrosion....if it is extensive, it makes no difference the TTAF SMOH or anything else as sometimes the cost to repair exceeds the cost of the plane.

One item I have a question about is TTAF....it seems to me the average TTAF of the 150s for sale I have seen is 4500hr. If a 150 has 9000 vs 3000 would not the moving parts on the airframe basically have 3 times the wear?
