Hi everyone . Finally bit the bullet and bought an m20f. Had an instructor lined up, but apparently they didn't have the right insurance to instruct. Looking for transition training at KPOC (La Verne, CA) in the SOCAL area. Any leads appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, just found a 1982 Mooney M20J 201 offered for sale privately- and was hoping to get an idea of what a fair price is for this plane assuming nothing major wrong with it... of course - will do a pre-buy. But since losing access to AOPA/VREF - hard to get a number to start from... I'm new to the mooney world - so hoping to pick the brain of Mooney experts! *Original Interior 600SMOH/ 2000TT original paint, rougher interior 2000TT 430W Garmin no fuel leaks doesn't appear to have any corrosion; rear seat temp removed, but look to be in OK condition. always hangered Attached a couple pictures of the actual plane, apologies they aren't great

Hi everyone, I am sure this has been asked and answered in the past - any recent recommendations for someone well versed with Mooney to do a pre-buy on an M20F in the LA area? Thanks in advance!

Yeah, that's a nice plane! - a bit out of my budget for a first plane

Thanks!, i doesnt appear that it has flown often the past couple years, but is hangered and kept in annual. Is the spar corrosion easy to spot with a pre-buy through existing access panels? I saw a different m20f with rust on the frame, hoping, since this one had a recent interior -- that would have been found at that time. Do you happen to know - when the tanks leak (if/when they leak) - is the leak usually to the outside or towards the passenger compartment?

Yep, that's the one - seems to be in a generally good shape - priced a little high relative to vref. I've sat in this one - but was hoping to "try" or get a test flight before committing.

Hi Everyone - new to the group I am trying to buy my first (only?) plane. Got a PPL later in life - working on instrument rating, Have found and like the M20F for the UL, Speed, efficiency - at least on paper... I was wondering if anyone local has an M20F that might be able to give me a hand-on run down the of the model? Or if they know anyone that would be open to a quick demo flight to make sure the model is a good fit for me? Thanks in advance
