Epiphyte Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 See listing under "great mooney for sale" Had a prebuy at LASAR, just last week. Found quite a few minor problems with easy fixes, may require some work at annual, this March. A couple gear related issues. This is a great project airplane, and ready/airworthy to fly home. I've disscussed squawk list with my mechanic, and he didn't sound worried. The poor gentleman who ordered the prebuy found himself in the midst of a divorce, before it was even started by the service center. I'm happy to entertain questions from serious potential buyers. I'll be advertising on eBay, this weekend as well. Many of your questions can be answered on prior post. Photos through Dropbox upon request. Please send me your email address if you're interested. I can send prebuy inspection or post on Dropbox. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinw Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I don't claim to be an expert but this seems like a pretty good deal. Throw a used 430 in there and someone can get into a J at a very reasonable price. If I were you I'd post more pictures rather than sending them "by request". Word of mouth travels much faster if people can see it. More the better. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epiphyte Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Here is original post Great 1981 M20J for sale With great pains, I am finally putting my mooney up for sale. She has been amazing, but due to growing family and aging car fleet, we have decided to sell. My father and I share in another aircraft, so I'll stay in the air....just not in the style I grew spoiled, over the last few years. N1016S was owened by a general surgeon, for over 10 years prior to me. She was always hangared, and pampered with general maintenance, as only a person with money could muster. I'm sad to part, but it's time...here are details; Full logs available 1981 Mooney M20J 201 Serial #24-1109 price was $61,000 lowered to $55,000 Engine Overview: 200HP, Lycoming IO-360 Total Time 3254.00 I still fly every week to every other week. 176 hours since SPOH (lower end) 1299 SMOH Zero time prop installed 2014 with about 70 hours time, running great! Fuel (66gal), with site gauges, wet wings last resealed 99. Small leak left wing that also hasn't changed in quantity over last 3 years, and mechanic and I monitoring. King Digital Avionics. Anual Due march 2015 IFR current/pitot static as of 9-2014 Oil changed every 40 to 50 hours, last Blackstone analysis was good and report available. New Concord battery 7-14. New tires 3-14. with left main replaced 8-14. recently painted yokes. Headlight replaced 9-14. Additional Features Standby Vacuum Hoskins FT-202 Digital Fuel Computer W/ memory PS Engineering PM1000II 4 Place Intercom Annunciator Panel Davtron Digital Chronometer EGT (needs new probe) OAT Alternate Static Ram Air Rosen Visors Pitot Heat Remote 12 Volt Receptacle with cables 64 gallons usable fuel with Wing Sight Fuel Guages Electric gear Flaps and Trim King KMA-24 Audio Panel w/ 3 light marker Beacons King KNS-80 RNAV/DME w/ Localizer and Glideslope King KY 197 Digital com King KX 170B Nav/Com W/ VOR/LOC King KR-87 Digital ADF W/ Remote Head King KT-76 Transponder w/ Altitude Encoding (serviced 9-14) 3M WX-8 stormscope (needs looking at) Century 21 Autopilot (coupled) heading bug. Hangered Weed CA O46. I've taken off about 20% asking price due to gear-up over a year ago. All new skins and everything replaced...perhaps better condition now due to zero time prop and engine inspection, gear/bolt change. Runs very smooth, and I've been all over california with my family, without concerns. Mechanic says it's one of the smoother running lycoming that he has seen. Oil consumption approximately 0.3 quarts/hour, but has remained the same since 2011. Please PM me at Patroy@live.com for more information. I have iCloud account with photos and video available. I've definitely dropped price for quick sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphyte Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thank you for the advice on photos. I've posted some here before, but it's not a great place for numerous photos, and they always get flipped upside down. This aircraft is not rated for acrobatics.

aviatoreb Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The question is, can my marriage survive dual aircraft ownership? Â One for you, one for her. Â I can see the problem - you will be fighting over who gets to fly the red one right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The question is, can my marriage survive dual aircraft ownership? Yes, as long as you do a great job of hiding one of the plane's costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphyte Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 im just very fortunate to have a wife who tolerates all of my flying endeavors....but the paragliding thing is still a tense issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I don't understand. Why is this airplane so cheap? Have our Mooneys devalued so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandelay Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I don't understand. Why is this airplane so cheap? Have our Mooneys devalued so much? Recent Gear up, small fuel leak, I assume original interior and paint, original avionics with no GPS and no engine monitor. That said, if there is no corrosion, it would is a good deal for someone to get a plane today and then upgrade as budget allows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryoder Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah it is like my C in a way even its color. It is outdated and has some deferred maintenance I can live with. If I had more liquid cash Id probably buy it and consider it the ultimate CB airplane. You don't want to trade for a C do ya ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphyte Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think teejayevens hit the nail on the head. One could invest 10k in repairs and have a nice aircraft, then plug in another 20 for new paint and avionics. This has no major corrosion. I'm going to miss this airplane, dearly, but it's really an economic issue for me. We need to pay off some debt and get a new/used car for my wife. I appreciate the trade thought, but I'm really not In a position for trade. This market is a very soft one, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Did the engine not get Zerod out after the prop strike? Surely that would have cost just a little more but greatly increased resale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphyte Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Apollo. Nothing wrongwith engine or prop. I simply don't have the luxury to wait for another 6 months to sell. I have too many other important things to do and a promise to my father, to help him take care of costs with his piper. I will miss flying a mooney, that's for sure.
