Marauder Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 bluehighwayflyer is right. I am willing to entertain an offer but be realistic and justify it. Lots of haters out here it seems. When you put pencil to paper reality will set in.....YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Just keep in mind you're dealing with a bunch of Cheap Bast&$ds. They have no idea how much it costs to upgrade a plane to this level. Who cares if it is an older J. In my opinion it has been updated to outweigh the age factor. As was mentioned above, try to buy any other newer Mooney with this level of avionics upgrade.

gsxrpilot Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I actually agree with Marauder completely. You've got an amazing J. I'm always a believer that the smart money is spent on the best plane available. It's almost never spent on the barn find or the fixer upper. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger O Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Justin, it's really a great plane, good luck with the sale. Now if only the first number in the price were a zero and not one I could afford it! (Just kidding), IMHO it's a fair price for what you are getting.

carusoam Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Does Chandler have an MSC on the field? My O has a few Chandler annuals in its logs prior to 2008. Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What she will bring back in dollars when I sell her a few years from now is not as important as the pleasure derived in the process, and in the flying of a very fine Mooney. I'm sure that when I decide to sell, someone will appreciate the airplane, and that the selling price will reflect that - certainly not all the costs incurred, but still in the upper range for a J model. I fully understand and agree with your sentiments, Bennett. Please let me know when you're ready. I miss my J more every day. Assuming my surgery goes as well as I suspect it will, I'll be in the market around July, 2018. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTK Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 On 3/28/2017 at 0:44 PM, gsxrpilot said: That very well might be the nicest J any where in the country. It's certainly the nicest one for sale. Unfortunately with any highly upgraded vehicle, the upgrades tend to be very personal and don't necessarily match another owners priorities. If it were my airplane, I wouldn't have spent money on a third Aspen panel. I'd also have an EDM-900 instead of the 830. Then you wouldn't need all the EI gauges either. With those savings, you could have easily done a GTX330ES and had ADSB Out. A 530 instead of the 430 makes for a much nicer GPS. And finally, at least add attitude hold to the STEC30. Or better yet, upgrade the STEC30 to something that can couple to an approach like the 55 or 60. To me, that all makes more sense than $25K on paint and another $15K on interior. But then that's just me. Oh, and while the hangar rash was being repaired prior to paint, I'd have added the later J wing tips. They just add so much to the finished look. Especially if I was putting $25K into the paint. It is a beautiful airplane though. There are always compromises, and with a highly upgraded airplane, the compromises are personal and don't always translate. But the J is one of the best airplanes ever made, and it's always worth keeping them up. This one is a perfect example and will make someone a very nice airplane. I completely agree. Looking at it objectively, and please corect me if I'm wrong, it's an early model J with a below average UL for an early J, and with average equipment that's older. It has a field engine OH and would need more info as to what was done. 160K may not be realistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smlynarczyk Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Nice plane. Very nice plane in fact. If you have (cash) this is an option. If I had $150K lying around, this is the plane I would buy. Problem comes in if you have to finance as the vref becomes a point of contention. Not being negative in any direction but this is the fact of life in trying to go upscale in your choice of planes. After many false starts I am going to see a plane (a Mooney) this weekend that looks really good. Hoping for the best but I have been in this situation multiple times so am very pragmatic. I know in the past many have posted how easy this is and how you should not be picky, however, this is a major investment for many of us. I wish everyone who is looking for a Mooney success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
