Response for Wakeup....

Convenience usually costs you additionally.

Since it is a major convenience to unload one plane while picking up the next, it may be worth it to you.

Contact All American Aircraft to see how they would handle that with your plane. Assuming they have something that you want.

I separated the sale and purchase. It took almost a year. Not very convenient.

Best regards,

Just curious...has anyone ever traded in your old plane to get something newer through agencies like this ? Do you they give you much for your old plane? Troy

In a state like California if you purchase a plane through a dealer and use your old one as a trade in you only have to pay the difference in sales tax.

Depending on the values involved it could be a good deal.

Thanks everyone. I prob will keep mine for awhile since I have brand new sealed tanks plus I'm putting a EDM 830 next week. I'm just looking forward to getting back in the air more and learning as much as I can. Troy

You might want to check the useful load on this one.  It might be on the low side.  The empty weight of the M20J increased through the early 80s.  Eventually Mooney increased the maximum gross weight and there's an STC for a gross weight increase on some older airframes but I don't think this one is eligible.

My '84 J is 5767Z and currently has about 5200 hours on it with an MX-20 and 430W. Never was a trainer but was the demo plane for BFG Avionics for over a decade. Similarly equipped to this one and can carry three adults with full fuel or 4 with enough fuel for a 3 hour flight with reserves. Mooniac15u is right; neither this one nor mine are eligible for the GW increase.

 

I wouldn't so much worry about the hours if the plane has been well maintained (or repaired). I have been fortunate to find the oil analysis on mine is still available to me from the folks I use to do mine and can see as far back as 2006. It also has Maxwell, Dugosh and several other MSC annuals across its lengthy history. And as the demo plane, it had true 100 hour inspections on a regular basis.

 

As far as the orphan avionics go, the MX-20 is no longer even repaired by Garmin, but used ones and even the newer GMX-200 are regularly on ebay if you just had to have one.

 

the price may or may not be the perfect price, but if you want to buy and they want to sell, the only deal that can be reached is when you are both happy with the number.

 

I say if it's the right plane for your mission, go for it!
