Quote: FBCK Nino, who is the broker and where would you getting the pre purchase buy inspection, dont even think of the local or former MSC around here, I had mine done there, told them what to look for and 1.5 years later had to repair those 3 items costing 20k or so, with an airplane with damage that may require a closer look, if there where issues, they certainly would find them.

I'm shopping for a newer Mooney, sold my plane last month. There is a Mooney M20S Eagle with the screamin eagle upgrade, it would be perfect for me, a lot of power, shorter take offs, good climbing and good range, plus I can eventually upgrade with TKS, if I decide to use it more in the winter. It's advertised on Controller.com for $ 185k, it's in Calgary, Alberta, I'm in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Canadian registration is C-FFFV, it was imported in 2009, before it was N-797TA, based in Arizona or Texas. The problem is that it had a gear up in 2004, and it wasn't used until 2009, when it was repaired, and from the log book it's evident that there was major damage to the right wing, nose, front gear and back of fuselage. According to the broker, It was all repaired properly and it's better than before. Maybe some of you have heard of this plane before and can give me some information about the accident and damage, before I commit myself and start to organize for the pre-buy inspection. Thank you.
