Kevin,
I'll always speak to you.
I agree with you fundamentally. If I'm the shop owner, and I know the airplane and the guy, and I know that he needs to sell it, I'm going to do a fair, and accuarate pre-buy. It does leave lots of room for the 'judgement' things. If I'm the prospective new owner, I'm going to tell the shop to report ALL questionable things. Here, however, is where it can be messy.
My plane just came out of annual. It was difficult. I had an inexperienced A&P, and they fired the resident IA the day the annual started. The A&P said my flaps have hangar rash, and they should be replaced. Judgement call.
So, would you have someone who has never seen the plane go over it, or would you have someone who knows all the foibles go over it.
