Pre-takeoff checklist
I am interested in purchasing a 172 that is located almost 1500 miles from my home field. Looking to use a local A/P for pre-buy inspection and a local appraiser. I will also be talking to the mechanic who has done the maintenance for the last couple of years.
Being so far away from the plane is making me very nervous about getting into something I regret. That being said I will not have my bank release any funds until I see the plane in person for one final look over.
Any of you guys have experience with purchasing a plane that was based such a long distance from you? Any lessons learned specific to such a situation?
