Buyer's Agent?

[YankeeClipper]

Thanks for the reply, AV8ing.

This is exactly the point of my question: you NEED to have a lot of experience and information going into a purchase--or otherwise a lot of money and patience. Obviously an inspection from an A&P with Skymaster experience is highly desirable, but there's much to consider in the books as well. So my question is, can a buyer agent really provide anything beyond what I can sift through in the books myself? If so--great! But I'm feeling dubious, given that there are many GA aircraft out there, and these are a breed apart.
