  1. http://diamond-aircraft-for-sale.blogspot.com/2016/09/mooney-acclaim-for-sale.html This add also says no damage history on the Acclaim N113TN
  2. Great points and no harm taken. I appreciate any info. I certainly thought of the Bravo but im really interested in the GFC-700 autopilot. The Lycoming engine is very incising. I started with looting at the Ovation3 but seems like everyone i talk to says go to the Acclaim. The speed and ability to climb over some weather is nice. The added expense is concerning. The way i fly now is under 15K but figured that would change as plane does. Hell when i first started flying I looked for the best Dakota I could find thinking it would be the first and only plane I would buy. I just got laughed at every conversation I had lol. Everyone said it is a drug, you will be looking for more avionics and speed as you grow. They were right. But I still go back and forth with the O3 and Acclaim. I figure I will be looking for the nicest 2008 or 09 O3 or Acclaim in the country.
  3. Great suggestion. I really like the lycoming engine and would do this but im really wanting the GFC-700 autopilot instead of the Stec. If it weren't for that I would be all over the Bravo.
  4. Just a update I have checked with a few folks recommendations from this post and I have had better quoits. Waiting for a few more call backs but the first is $3,800yr Thanks again for all your help. Danny
  5. LMAO that was funny. I wandered why you didnt say anything about the TBM. Is that not the prettiest plane you have ever seen wow my absolute favorite. I have never played the lottery until i saw that plane.
  6. AIG It was a "tire kicker" quote. I called back and they said it was like a new driver driving a Lamborghini. I again repeated i would have about 750 hours and IFR but no retractable time.
  7. New here! I currently fly a 1989 piper Dakota valued at 155K I have 500 hours and instrument rated I'm a 50 yr old Dentist clean as a whistle record. I'm doing my homework on the purchase of a 2008-09 Mooney Acclaim. I called my insurance I currently pay $1,100 yr for insurance and just got a quote for $11,000 a yr for an acclaim. I asked if I heard that right. They said there's been a lot of gear up landings with the mooney's lately. Planes with retractable gear has sky rocketed. I'm getting a second quote but just had to put this question out on the forum. Has everyone being seeing a serge in insurance with retractable or did i just get a gal that's retiring on my hobby. Appreciate the help. Danny
