Hi all,
First time poster and long time lurker. Was in the process of purchasing a Piper Cherokee 6/300. Noted in the log books that during the annual the tech had noted the Eddy current inspection was due for the wing spars in 200 hours. We asked as part of the pre-buy if seller would be willing to help split the cost of the inspection, to which we were told that not only would the seller not help pay for the inspection but he wouldn't allow us to perform it at all as part of the pre-buy.
Broker stated that the plane still had 200 hours left on it which is a couple years of flying by his estimation. We pulled out of this deal immediately but got me wondering if asking for the eddy current inspection was unreasonable and at what point / amount of hours would you want to include this as part of the prebuy?
Thanks in advance.
