Need Omaha pre-buy FAST

[Pa28-140]

Can anybody recommend a mechanic in Omaha Nebraskawho could do a reasonable pre-buy inspection of a 2006 SR22? My boss is running full speed ahead with a purchase and we will not be able to get it to a Cirrus Service Center. We do need a reliable mechanic though. I know, I know, this isn't the way I would do it either, but at the end of the day I'm not writing the checks. I'm playing the cards that I have been dealt. Thanks for understanding and please respond with any recommendations. :mad2:

Thanks for the replies. As it turns out, the deal fell through. The owner wouldn't accept a deposit of earnest money. He wanted $25K down and expected it to be non-refundable if we rejected the airplane after the pre-buy inspection. Thanks, but no.

Only way I can make sense of that kind of response is if the seller had another buyer who was already well along the sales process - or he thinks he has such a hot item that he can afford to be picky. The latter is hard to believe in this market.
