The electrical system and the cockpit panel are not standard and no diagrams were coming with it. To get a fresh C of A the shop that knew the aircraft since a long time was asking 45.000€ the quote from the year before when the plane did not pass the annual inspection Lengthy negotiations reduced it to 29000€ but they offered only a ferry permit for this reduced price. After two weeks without any progress I checked out the aircraft and decided it was flyable with minor work. A French mechanic that runs a small shop in the South of France got the job to fix what was needed and we ended up spending only a few thousand a fraction of the Paris shop quote.
