Pre-buy inspection

Post by BoisePhil »

Can anyone recommend someone in the Kansas City, MO. area who could be trusted to do a good pre-buy or annual inspection on a 170B?

Pre buys are a waist of money.

BoisePhil, as you might guess , you’ve made an inquiry that often generates polarizing opinions . Best to use the search engine and read the many previously posted thoughts on pre-buys versus a purchase based on an annual inspection

You might look in the Membeship Directory and contact either John Barrett or Ron Magos. While not in KC... they are two of our Members who are highly knowlegeable owners and maintenance-savvy guys that are not that far away and likely know someone they can recommend.
