I recently read an article where the author recommended paying for an
annual versus a pre-buy inspection. That way, new parts and serviced
items are on the old seller and not the new owner. Which, as you found,
often seem to pop up when it's time for the annual on your new plane.

This certainly seemed like sound advice? Anyone care to make a counter
point?
