For me, when shopping for an airworthy Mooney, the most important items are 

  1. Regular use
  2. Autopilot
  3. WAAS GPS

*disclaimer for the usual deal killer items such as corrosion

I wouldn't spend money on a plane that didn't meet those. But that's just me... not a reflection of the market as a whole. I don't include engine monitor or ADS-B because those are relatively inexpensive to add. And I'd like to have the specific capabilities and would likely add them myself anyway. E.g. with my 252 I pulled out the EDM700 and installed an EDM900.

This particular E failed on all three of those items. So for me, it wasn't worth much. But evidently he found a buyer who had different priorities. If I ever sell my Mooney, I hope to find someone with the same priorities I have.

When it comes to pricing machines...

1) What will the market allow?

[snip]

25) the cooler thing is... there are a few MSers that have completely restored their own Mooney to better than new condition...

That takes a modicum of financial sense... and a great spouse!   :)

Anthony, as a guy who enjoys your thoughtful lists, is 25 a personal best?  :)

The new owner must not have liked it after he bought it and has listed it on Barnstormers.

Hmmm.  Ad has same name and phone number as in the OP.  Similar sales pitch as well.  So, It hasn’t sold.  Looks like a nice plane for someone...

I have met the owner, shadowking42, and he was very nice to me. I’ve also seen the plane- it’s beautiful. As a matter of fact I had a deposit on it a few years back but had to cancel due to illness. I got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and haven’t flown since. Anyway, I’d love to own that Mooney.

Shadowking42, I now have basic med so if you want to sell it to me, you have my number. I love that plane...
