Pre-buy

[mnewb1]

opinions on a good shop or mechanic in Michigan to do a thorough pre-buy on a Mooney?

 

Thanks,

If you are close to Grand Rapids (GRR), James Powers works out of Landmark Aviation on the field.  He was trained by the Mooney Factory back when it was Northern Air and they were a Mooney Service Center.  Not cheap, but he knows his way around a plane.  If you are closer to IL, Northwest Flyers in Schaumburg is more reasonable and I think they are good as well.

Very close to GR in Holland, thanks for the tip

Make sure they check for corrosion _everywhere_ (wheel wells, under back seat, under interior panels, etc.)!
