Pay the $99 and get AOPA to run a title search on it. Will look for liens,
registration
history, airworthiness history (to include incident/damage and 337s). I
looked at a
plane with an FAA report of an accident with substantial damage and found
absolutely
no mention of it in the logs or a 337 on it. You need to get the whole
picture and
make sure it all jives.

1971 Cessna 150
6200 TT
935 SMOH, 4200 TT on engine
Good paint & interior
Extras: EGT, panel-mounted Garmin Pilot III
New Narco NAV/COM and transponder in '98
No damage history (I checked)
All logs except for first two years.

I saw the plane today and everything looks good. Was not able to fly
due to OSH being IFR. I have decided to do the prebuy - owner will fly
it to MWC for me. If there are no squawks and I find nothing I don't
like in the test flight (unlikely) we have a verbal agreement at $18K.
Talked him down from $19K. Sound pretty kosher???
