What would you want me to look at for your Pre-buy inspection?
Every one says "Pre-Buy", what is that really?
Basically have a mechanic do a thorough inspection of the aircraft and get his take on it.

That was fast. I wonder what happened
It sold in 2 days.. Someone got lucky!
Mike Arman's book says that it requires certain care to make O-200 to make TBO, but it's mostly related to piston rings. He does not say, but my conclusion is, you should be able to get away with a top overhaul if things go south a little bit.
Personally, I would not buy a 150 with 1800 SMOH, because I do not have good enough connections to have major maintenance done in an affordable way. Besides, I can afford a little better.
By the time this gang finishes picking things apart the entire GA fleet could be sold out from under them....
No kidding! I'd guess these planes are junk too.. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/for/4771958043.html
I know of a 150 that has 3500 on the engine, so I suppose there is a way to keep it going. That being said, at 3500 hours, the owner is probably running on borrowed time.
If you had only $9500 and we're looking to build time would you buy this airplane? I posted a link on a FB page to this ad I found on Craigslist and it's funny the responses it's gotten. From its ugly, to its timed out (which we know) to is used up and gonna cost $10k or more for overhaul. But say you bought it and squeezed 200 more hours and then sold it is think you be money ahead? I know when I was renting I would've thought this was a reachable (as in I could afford it) aircraft . Your thoughts? http://redding.craigslist.org/for/4759853438.html
