My bad, I thought you were being snarky.

Oh I was, because I’m a pain in the rear around here...someone needs to shake things up a little

Luckily, we normally have @carusoam to smooth things over after I terrorize the thread.

I saw an ‘82 J with some decent avionics but a run out motor listed for $140 the other day.  Egads.

Dylan, it takes a while to perfect your old and crusty-ness...

Don’t be in a rush to follow all of the personalities available on MS...

Some are young and crusty....   

 

 

Old advice...  don’t say anything is overpriced...   it is insulting to so many people for various reasons...

As the sayer, you may be right...  but at the cost of saying something obvious... and annoying your neighbors at the same time...

 

Asking prices should be too high... as a buyer... you probably will be using that as a starting point...

People don’t usually post the sold price...

We could really stir the pot... tell he paid too much... 

 

Be nice to everyone... the old crusty guy may be your connection to a good mechanic while you are out on the road...

MS is on the internet... but it isn’t the usual internet...

Best regards,

You’ve caught the Mooney bug! 
 

The hard part now is being patient while you find the right plane.  An extensive pre-buy inspection will pay you back ten-fold when you walk away from an unloved money pit. Nothing worse than adding up your receipts after the restoration to discover that you could have bought a decent M20E for what you have into your C.

You might as well keep looking for the right plane, because even if you were to buy this one, it could be months before it’s flyable.

Old IFR stuff in the panel is not a redeeming quality.... and the price is ridiculous; so what are the redeeming qualities of this plane? I’m not seeing it.

Stephen, are you "asking for a friend"?  What's the N number?  What's your location?

Since there is no pilot with your name listed in the FAA pilot registry, you might want to let all the folks who have answered your questions in good faith know that you're actually the seller. You were using this forum to find out whether anyone is gullible enough to pay $50k or maybe $30k for an aircraft that has been neglected and flown illegally by someone who has utter disregard for safety rules. An engine that has to be considered junk. Logbooks that are almost certainly inaccurate or forged. 

If I'm wrong, by all means please set the record straight.  But I doubt that you'll respond; your 4 posts were all on March 17, the day you joined.
