1990 M20J - Well Equipped & Well Maintained

**Jeff_S** · June 21, 2014

Hello Folks. I'm getting the itch for some more horses under the hood...yeah, I guess I'm trying to keep the avgas makers in business. But I thought I'd float my plane out to Mooneyspace before I put it up on Controller to see if anyone is interested. This is a 1990 J with 3300 hours total, 1300 SMOH and 400 STOH with new ECi Cerminil cylinders. The only reason the prior owner did this was because the existing chrome cylinders were using too much oil, but the ECi's have broken in nicely (I'll show you the Blackstone reports) and I go 25 hours between changes with at most one quart added.

The panel was redone in 2006 with state of the art equipment for that time. It's got a GNS480 WAAS navigator with an MX-20 MFD and GDL 69a XM Weather/entertainment receiver. It's also got a Shadin air/data computer and JPI engine monitor with Fuel Flow, all of which is programmed to read TAS, wind speed and direction and fuel/distance/time parameters on the 480. In short, it will show you everything that an Aspen or Garmin G500 will. And also, an S-TEC 55 autopilot with GPSS and altitude/vertical-speed preselect so this system is rock solid in IFR and will automatically fly you all the way to the runway on an LPV approach.

Rather than put all the other details here, attached are some pics and a spec sheet that I've worked up, so if you're interested send me a PM. I do have a price in mind, a realistic one having priced this both on vRef and Aircraft Blue Book. While I'm saddened that these Js haven't held their value as well as I hoped, rest assured I am trying to be realistic with the price. I don't want to post the price on this forum, though...too many forum trolls!

Take a look and let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

Jeff

BTW, the right rear passenger seat is removed to give more luggage space, but of course I have it and it is upholstered just like the left.
