Re: Surveyor "recommendations" where do I draw the line???
If it were me, I would pay for the oil changes, flares, and first aid kits and that's it. All the other stuff should be fixed or the cost of the fixes would be deducted from the price assuming the price is realistic. My bias would be to take the money and oversee the repairs. It sounds like the original owner deferred lots of maintenance. It's a buyer's market. Just be pleasant and see what you can do.
