Looking at purchasing an 98 Aventure 2

Good Morning, new to site,

Looking at purchasing an 1998 Aventure 2 two seats. The plane's last inspection or cert was in 2008 but has been stored in pole building covered/uncovered. Inspecting the plane it's clear it has been sitting for some time was uncovered when I seen it but may had been covered for some time still dusty. Mechanically it looks alright and functional, we were able to get it started needed new battery. Has the Rotax 912 80 HP, twin blade prop. Per the hour meter it has 128 hours, has safety chute I'm sure this also is out of inspection. looking for suggestions on what it might be worth and any other comments about what it might cost to get this back up and flying, inspections, recommended parts, any info appreciated thanks Phil.

where did you purchase this plane.. in Canada I would assume. I have a Aventura hp and really enjoy it. but very hard to get parts. The fellow that sells them is really busy I guess....

Thanks, Dean, for answering my questions. I actually purchased it in Cassopolis MI. I was back on site here today to find information on the web site for getting parts, but it sounds like they be hard to come by. Would you have an avenue to getting parts. My aircraft is complete and functional, but a few things need addressing. I would like to find an additional control lever mechanism that controls the horizonal tilt of craft and that via flap is on the back-left wing looking from behind. This lever had ana locking device that only allows you to move forward and back by pressing in the desired direction. I would hope the administrator would read and advise on getting parts we will see, thanks if you can help

Thought maybe I might get some assistance on this but after 13 views and no comments not sure what to think?? :( I did purchase the aircraft will be picking it up Saturday. Maybe now that people see I'm serious about my request maybe it might promote some conversation :)
