Yeah, I wouldn’t have known any different, except for the fella mentioning it when I got the insurance quote.

Thanks for the insurance info. The Aerostar tail doesn’t worry me too much, other than if maybe it changed due to damage or something like that. Plus, it was one of those things that made me say hmm… as I continue to learn about the differences in models. Again, thanks for the info, it’s very appreciated.

Hi everyone. I just joined this forum because I’m actively looking for a Mooney. And wouldn’t you know it, here’s a thread about the airplane I’m looking at. I agree with the OP that 80k seems high, that is until you look around at the offerings that are available right now. A couple of responses on this thread have alluded to the high prices of all aircraft right now, and that is absolutely correct. It’s crazy what folks are asking for airplanes with high time engines, older avionics, etc. And it’s not just Mooney’s. If I should end up with this hot rod, I’ll post some pictures. When I called Avemco for an insurance quote, it turns out that the serial number indicates that it’s a “Aerostar” Mooney. But if you look at the pictures in the ad, it doesn’t have the Aerostar tail. Being a 1970 model, maybe this one was built with the inventory that was left when Aerostar purchased Mooney. I’ll be checking on that, along with the pre-buy. Anyway, glad I found this forum, it’s loaded with great info.
