1966 Cessna 150F N345AM TTAF~6640, TSMOH~990, Continental 0-200-A SN 62363-5A Last compressions #1-76 #2-74 #3-74 #4-76. McCauley propeller, King KX170B Nav/Com, Narco AT150 Transponder, Sigtronix SPA400 intercom, auto gas STC, shoulder harnesses, seats just rebuilt and re-upholstered, new door and window seals and trim, electric flaps to 40 degrees, toe brakes, good paint/interior, great glass, tires and brakes good, VFR. Lowrance Airmap GPS, brand new glass cover. This is an excellent flying plane that starts easy and runs perfectly, does not leak or burn oil. Have logs but a few years missing from the 70's. Located Nampa Airport. Great flying, simple trainer or time builder!

what do you think? Noticed front gear is wobbly, shimmy dampner shot and strut or shock leaks and doesn't hold up nose very well. Are these engines 2000 hour overhauls? Some airspeed indicator issues owner is working on. Current owner bought it from a aircraft dealer that sort off resurrected it? It is a nice looking plane.
 
Talking about a 150 in general, it will get the job done..yes, but it wont be the most comfortable airplane for dual instruction. As far as TBO times, the O-200 is 2000hrs. Good thing about the 150/152's is they provide relatively low cost flying. If you decide you are interested in this airplane, just get a good pre-buy on it and you could always set a contingency to purchase bearing those few things you mentioned are taken care of. GL!
 
C150s (and C152s) have trained thousands and continue to do so today. If prebuy checks out and ya buy it, it will get the job done. After you may want to keep it for pleasure flying or whatever, or sell. They're holding their value well and you'll probably get your money back. Good luck on your decision!
 
Good honest plane that works for most realistic GA missions, as long as you or the right seat ain't beefcakes
 
I'll sell you a Grumman AA1 with 100 SMOH for that same price. IFR certified to boot. ;-)
