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
