Hello all, I am in search of some help to find a good mechanic for a prebuy inspection for a 58 Cessna 182. I had recently (3 months ago) purchased a 56 182, then found some major issues with some past repairs that had been done incorrectly. Long story short, at least the broker/company I had bought it from has bought it back(that story a different time)....I am moving on now, and am now in the market for another 182.

I am interested in a 58 182 at Bozeman, MT BZN. Just putting some feelers out there to see if anyone on here is interested in doing or knows anyone who can do a good prebuy. Familiarity with these age of 182's would be a big plus.

Any input or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My first thought as well. Bill gets great reviews from folks here on the site. Once you get through the process, we'd love to hear about it. Good luck.

Thanks for all the info guys. I have made contact with Bill and we'll figure things out. Very nice guy, very knowledgeable. I will update as I know more.

Bill did my pre-buy for my 1957 182 a couple of months ago, he knows his 182's.
