Hey all, I saved the capital...then waited a several more months to have 2x what I think it’s going to cost to buy a Pre-J Mooney. Ha! I’m ready to start conducting some Prebuys and putting in some offers. I want to be ahead of the ball here and see if I can start building a relationship with an AP/IA mechanic that is very familiar with Vintage Mooneys. Does anyone have a line to a mechanic in SoCal? (I’m based at John Wayne KSNA) Do you know if they do local prebuy inspections? Also are there a short body Mooney prebuy inspection checklists that people use for reference? Any other tips or pitfalls on prebuys and acquisition? I’m clearly new to this. -Trent

My purchase of an M20C fell through when I had the airplane taken to Don Maxwell and he discovered an unapproved repair to a wing spar unknown to the seller who has proved to be a total gentleman about dealing with the situation. That being said, I cannot say enough good things about Don Maxwell, which comes as no surprize to this forum where i learned about Don to start with. All of that being said, now I need to find a Mooney M20 that I can afford. Anybody know of a good buy out there?
