I got in touch with Jimmy Garrison yesterday, and he sent me his latest Mooney Pricing Guide which was incredibly helpful. It's a treasure trove of information, to say the least. Strongly recommend it for anyone in the market or considering being in the market.

I’m in Houston area now, but will be in Colorado Springs in August.

Looks like the plane has been flown 12 hrs in the last 3 1/2 years according to the logs. Was hoping that wasn’t the case, but hope is not a strategy.

Pricing from Lycoming as of today is as follows: 1) New - $70K 2) Rebuild - $35K 3) OH - $21K. Thoughts?

It is indeed. Definitely agree with you on the prop and governor. Thank you.

My plan is to have it for 1000-1500 hours to continue to build time. Then I would like to step up to something more suited for mountain travel.

Thank you for the breakdown above. Very helpful.

I’m not real familiar with engine maintenance….at least doing it myself. I’m definitely not the guy that is spending his downtime swapping parts out of my vehicle’s engine. I think the route that would provide me the most peace of mind would be a factory reman. Thanks for the welcoming words.

Very good points above. I’m right in the middle of doing the comparison of factory reman vs OH vs going with the IO-390 (that is clearly another topic for another day). Thank you for your input.

Those were my initial thoughts as well. Thanks for the feedback.

New pilot that is considering purchasing my first plane. Without giving too much information away, the plane I’m looking at has averaged 105 hrs/yr but is 800 hrs past TBO. Most recent compressions were all 72 or higher, so I would be curious to hear from the group what I might be overlooking if I pursued my interest in this particular plane. Thanks in advance.
