Bravoman Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Cole aviation in Dalton Ga, an MSC, is pretty close. I'd recommend. Joe is thorough and is a pilot himself who holds instructor and ATP ratings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David did my prebuy and the first annual on my 20F. Both would be about an hour flight from Knoxville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwaustin Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I had mine flown from Utah to Don Maxwell. Paid 1250 for the base pre buy inspection as it had just come out of annual. Seller paid for most of all the squawks. We split the cost of flying it down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, many brokers squawk very loudly at even taking the plane off field for a PPI in fear of the possible cost they may incur to get it back if something goes wrong away from their home base.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not that uncommon in private sales especially when someone needs to rid of the plane. Also worth noting I bought the plane from a gentleman who has a PC-12 and didn't need the Mooney anymore. I paid for base inspection, I split the cost to ferry the plane there, he paid up to 5k of repairs and I paid the rest. Worked out great and we agreed to all this prior to moving the plane. On the other hand i agree that a broker won't do this typically which is why I went the route I did. Originally looked at a 231 at Dan Howard which didn't work out due to the above terms so I ended up with a nicer plane, fresh inspection at a MSC, and paid less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be close to the same distance as Cole. http://www.aglaviation.com/services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
