I looked at an A36 and was thinking about buying it, but he lost the
logs. My question is how much does this usually decrease the value of the
plane.


When were the logs lost?
2005
Am I wrong in thinking that if you have and annual done and the mechanic
signs it off. All AD's and such are done that the plane is not flight worthy
or the FAA, insurance would have a problem with that.
In looking at the plane it has original interior and paint looks amazing for
a 73 better than most 80's that I have looked at.
All in all the owner will not sell it for what I want to pay for a plane
with no logs. I would have no problem flying it with a good pre-buy. Logs or
no logs.

Logs lost last month can be far a different scenario than logs lost 20
years ago for a 30 year old airplane.
