Buying an airplane, like becoming a pilot in the first place, is all about the journey. Nobody ever shows up with checkbook in hand ready to make a purchase of an aircraft. Honestly, the process can involve a bewildering amount of homework, followed by the search for the exact right airplane - or as close to it as one can find - and only then the delicate dance of negotiating the price.
