I don't think things have gotten so bad that he is selling his Baron and
looking for another.

One obviously has to have a prepurchase inspection done.

In a perfect world:

1)The inspection would be by a mechanic that is familiar with the aircraft
type.
2)The inspection would be done by the mechanic that is going to maintain
the plane on an ongoing basis.
3)The inspection is not done by the mechanic that was maintaining the
plane.

If the plane in question is out of your area how do you do 1,2,3?

How is this problem solved?

If you have a remote mechanic do the prepurchase, how do you trust the
care and honesty of someone you will only do business with once and
is far far away?
