1979 Mooney 231 M20K

I am selling it because I usually just fly the cub around, I bought this to go places and with work have been very unable to go anywhere.  I have owned it for just over a year and put a ton of money into it; bought it out of Alabama with a Mooney center clean bill of health; needless to say our Mooney expert thought otherwise, plane is perfect now and ready to go.  Any question you can call or text me at 203.903.3759. 

Paint is 7/10 (removed big escape sticker from cargo door and found to be the old paint under it) Small chips on wing looks great from 10 feet

Someone may have a great opportunity on their hands.

As stated above, I bought this aircraft in February and flew it back to SoCal. Since then, it got a new paint job (full strip, body work, etc.) and the cowling totally refurbished. As it sits, it is in the avionics shop getting all the old stuff ripped out and an EDM-900, Aspen with AOA/SVT, and a Lynx ADS-B transponder installed. The interior has been removed and is being totally replaced with new upholstery and fabric to match the paint job. It will also get an annual (on top of the significant checkout/repairs that were done before my purchase) before it is done with the total refurbishment, and should be ready to fly in a few weeks. Between the investment the prior owner put into this plane and its cosmetic/panel improvements during my short ownership of it, there is very little that hasn't been repaired/replaced in the last few years.

About 2 weeks ago, my wife got a job offer - in Thailand.

While the move isn't certain, it's looking quite probable - so I either have to sell the plane or find someone to lease it to as bringing it to Thailand isn't practical or financially sane. I have a loan on the plane, and can either pay it off (and a small prepayment penalty), or I can find someone that goes on my insurance policy to fly the plane/reimburse me whilst I maintain the loan, or some other creative arrangement.

The plane is based out of KEMT, but is currently at KCNO. If you or someone you know are interested in about as nice a 231 K as you could ask for, feel free to PM. I'm probably looking at about a 2 month timeline for sale/lease. Thanks!

Without flying surfaces or cowling, but gives an idea of the paint scheme. Flying surfaces have since been attached, cowling refurbished (new fiberglass/carbon fiber, new heat shields, etc.) and it is now in the avionics shop.

I might be interested in an arrangement, whether it’s a straight purchase/lease/insurance deal.  I don’t live in SoCal though.  I’m close to KMEM.  If you’re interested, let me know and we can discuss it further.  Thanks!

My wife and I don't own much and live relatively simply - the plane is/was our luxury and chief method of disposing of excess cash. It will be a real shame to have to leave it behind. I've gotten a few PM's and am in early discussions with a couple of people, but I welcome additional inquiries. I haven't (yet) posted this plane for lease/sale anywhere else.
