As I am sure you are aware Tony, you don't have to comply to SB's unless they are mandatory. There is one on my plane that I didn't do because the mechanic said the cure was worse than the disease. Some of them are rediculous but you still have to comply if it's 135.
I just wanted to make sure the guy doesn't get the false impression that annuals should cost 400 bucks. Maybe after a firewall foreward overhaul and IFR check but SB's come out almost monthly on old planes and even new ones. So keeping up with an old plane ensuring airworthiness can be quite expensive as you found out.
My annuals, owner assisted, range from 1300-10K, it depends on what comes up, watch out for recurrent AD's too, they can easily make or break an otherwise great deal on a plane.
Buyer beware!
