Pass on it. I bought an estate sale Mooney and wound up spending over 60K on it. I have an IA so the labor was free. It’s the small stuff that will nickel and dime you to end up eventually amounting to big bucks. The cheapest aircraft is one that is currently flying and well maintained.

I removed the galley from my Mooney so no smell!

Same stuff as the airlines use.

I would go with an overhaul. Use the money saved for avgas.

I installed coin mat in my M20F. I like it much better than carpet.

Thanks. Stuff works great.

Sorry about the misspell in earlier reply. It is DiOxit not Dioxin.

I spray Dioxin into mine. Frees up the switch.

You can get the records on it from the FAA. That will have any 337 forms ever submitted for it. Sitting so long the engine and prop probably need an overhaul or at least a tear down and IRAN with new seals. You can inspect and document AD compliance. Check the weight and balance against the equipment installed. Probably all engine and brake hoses need replaced. Probably all seals in the brake system need replaced. Nothing like a brake reservoir on the inside firewall leaking all over your carpet. In short I would buy it as a project and plane on a year or three before flying it.

I had that issue on my M20F three months ago. Found that the 70 amp circuit breaker broken off where the wire connects to it.

Could be your engine driven fuel pump.

I had the Aircraft Hose Store make mine up. They were a good price.

Spalling is unfortunate and expensive. Usually caused by the engine sitting too long between runs.

The sealant on top could be deteriorated and it will evaporate. Also check inside at the wing root for a leak into the cabin. Pull some panels at the leading edge and check the front spar.
