Saving Money on Parts
In another thread, Oscardeuce started looking for an O-2A alternator and ended up buying one from Yingling (a Cessna dealer). In a parts-purchasing seminars which Jerry DeSantis is planning for Nashville, I’ll tell you why Yingling is the LAST call I make when looking for a part.
Don’t get me wrong, Yingling is my first call if I know that the part I need can only come new from Cessna, because Yingling provides wonderful customer service and gives you a 10-15% discount. But, working closely with my A&P, I go through a process which starts by asking “can I buy this used, as-removed from a tear-down aircraft?” and also considers PMA parts and new-surplus parts. Do it right and you’ll save a ton of money. I’ll show you how to do it and who you should be buying from -- in Nashville.
