Back to square one on buying an Arrow

We got closer this time. We actually had our verbal offer accepted.

You might be moving too slow. Almost any good airplane that comes up for
sale at a good price is immediately snapped up.

Having the cash in hand at the right time is essential. Don't count on going
half way across the country to do a pre-by if you don't have the money in
your pocket.

Pre-bys are not always what they seem. There are horror stories abound. The
best deals are fast and usually from someone local with a good reputation.
Mostly these are never advertised.

What is really fun is to fly around to popular airports are "hangartalk"
about planes for sale there. There are hundreds of Arrows in California.
Take your time. Spending money is supposed to be fun. Once you see the right
deal, BAM! Take it. Move slow then move fast.
