First congratulations on your new bird !! Did you buy the plane from Skywagons ? (They are based in Placerville.) If so, how do you feel about how they treated you ??
I ask , because I was looking at a plane that they were selling on consignment ( about a month ago) and had never dealt with a airplane dealer. It turned out that the plane wasn't what I wanted , so I never did find out what they were like. Because of my location, I could imagine looking at their inventory some other time.
Thanks for your time and I apologize for the intrusion ! Congratulations, again ! mike

I have another thread on my dealings with them. The guy running the show (Mark) is a total salesperson so I don't have too much trust in what he says. Their contract is ridiculous IMO. It's just absurdly bad and biased. and I had it out with Mark over the contract and got some reasonable concessions, but it still wasn't great in the end.
They seem to know what they are doing overall. We had some massive headaches with the title, but they worked hard to get them resolved. However, it did delay our closing for about a month more than expected and it's likely that them pinching pennies on paying a real title company caused a large portion of the title delay in the end.
Don't take his advice on mechanics for the prebuy if he offers it, smile nod and do what you feel is best.
I'm happy to answer any other questions. I wouldn't seek them out to do business with, but I also wouldn't run away if they had a plane I liked.
