Looks great! Good price for a sorted-out, ADS-B in/out, LED all around,  new interior, new paint, modern panel J model!

I doubt that any of us without Jake's connections and resources could take an average J on the market and do all of this for close to that price. Things add up very fast trying to bring an older airplane up to these standards

I'll gladly pour another 30k in to it for you if you would like. Asking price would be 160k

My point was that while it looks beautiful and would be the pride of the ramp, the engine is high-time and the panel is very tired looking. To boot, it sports an old KX170 and doesn't even have an HSI. The long and short of it is that the buyer will be looking only at cosmetics. Sorry, wasn't meant as an insult.

Throw an Aspen in there or a pair of G5's to replace the KX170. If I didn't just get my K (231) I'd be interested.

I am not a huge fan of the Aspen anymore.  It's a great unit, but for the money a pair of G5's is a lot better option I think.  This aircraft has a Century attitude based autopilot, the G5 attitude indicator will not drive it.  The G5 HSI would be a great fit for this, as soon as Garmin starts shipping the new GAD29B.  Without it the autopilot would not be compatible with the HSI.   If the plane isn't sold by the time that happens, I will probably pull it off the market and install a G5 HSI.

I don't want a J, but I'd love to bring my 252 over to you and see what happens after a few months in your shop :wub:

Come on over, we can make whatever you desire happen to your 252.

What a great looking plane. Regarding the avionics, where does one stop? My $.02 is go with the Aspen and EA100. Remove the strikefinder and relocate the AI there. I would also add autotrim to the S-Tec 60 PSS. I have the same AP setup with the autotrim and to me it's a must. Replace the second nav/com with a 430W or just a KX155 and I think the panel would be ready to go. If the new owner wanted to take it a step further, he could add a backup AI and remove the vacuum system increasing safety and useful load. The problem is doing it now will increase the sale price and you would be gambling on what the future owner will want.

You don't have to be sorry, Flyboy. You're correct!

The panel needs serious $$$ work, no mention of a tank reseal, and the engine too close to TBO. Very nice looking exterior and interior work Jake, but IMHO, your asking price is unrealistic. You must realize that shop improvements on a 37 year old plane don't yield a dollar for dollar return, especially when you include your shop labor rates.

Good luck selling it.

Why not just move the playback switch instead of moving the Strikefinder?

Agree on the replacing of the #2 nav/com, that looks out of place.

And since its somebody's else money, I'd leather wrap the yokes to go with the new interior.

I'm usually pretty hard on asking prices, but I think this one is correct. Every airplane purchase has to have some risk priced into the deal. We try to mitigate that risk by having a pre-buy done, and that adds to the cost. In this case, I believe as much of that risk as absolutely possible has been removed. The plane has been though effectively a "pre-buy" lasting many months at a very reputable Mooney shop. Buying this plane off the street from an unknown seller would knock at least 10AMU off the value. 

There's certainly room for improvement on this plane, but I believe its priced fair.

I agree, especially with what JC says below. Sounds about as risk free as any airplane purchase out there.

How can you afford not to buy it?  ;)  Someone take this off my hands before I have to list it for real and I'll throw in next years annual at my facility, parts and labor.

120k is pretty much the the absolute ceiling for an M20J. . N33yz had all this plus triple aspens, Stec 30 autopilot plus fresh factory engine. This would need both to be comparable, and. That's another 70 grand. . It was about the same price as this plane. 140-160k is A36 money.  It's a different category.

I remember 33YZ, phenomenal panel and new interior by Aero Comfort if I recall.
