Patiently Searching for M20C/E/F/G


AdamJD

Recommended Posts

I've been seriously looking for a while for an M20C, E, F or G, but haven't found anything on the usual sites which meets my needs.  Here's what I'm looking for:

Must Have:
- Autopilot, as this will be primarily for x-country IFR
- WAAS GPS coupled with AP
- Mid-time or better engine and prop w/ recent flight history
- Corrosion free (wing spar cap / cockpit cage)
 
Good To Have:
- Aspen 1000 or G5 / GI275
- Recent fuel tank reseal or bladders
- Modern engine monitor
 
Icing On The Cake If It Has:
- Nice interior / seats (my wife's #1 criteria)
- Speed mods (201 cowl, windshield, others)
 
If anyone is thinking of or knows someone who is selling something that fits these criteria, please reach out to me on MS or mdpilots@gmail.com.
 
Thank you!
Adam

Where are you located? Based on your gmail it looks like Maryland. Either that or you’re a doctor.

I know a guy who is going back and forth on selling. It’s an F and has most of what you are looking for. I’ll approach him but it might help convince him to commit if you can meet him in person.

Chris....?  How well do you know this guy who is thinking of selling his F?  I hope it's not you!

(However, it would be a lucky buyer.)

Nah Gus, it’s not me. Although seeing the selling prices over the past year has me thinking about it.

No, the guy I’m thinking about is one of those lucky early 70 year olds who got hit with a sizable double digit insurance increase this year.

How could I give up views like this?

I'm glad to hear it's "someone else".  I still hope you and your beer drinking dog will move down here!

I guess the insurance man may show both of us the way to give up those views soon enough with those horrific rate increases.  My broker told me I have about one more year...maybe two of insurability of a retract on grass.  :(

The poor beer drinking dog’s supply of beer has dried up since I quit drinking. He does however always seem to find someone with a cold one in his or her hands at the barbecues.

I just retired and am now starting to think about retirement locations. The tough selling point for my wife is that she wants to find Pleasantville. You know the place. It’s where it is 72° all the time and doesn’t rain. I constantly hear “that place is too hot” or “this place is too cold”.

I do plan on doing for more trips this summer and if we find ourselves in your neck of the woods, I’ll let you do a hard sell on her.

Ha!  Smart observation.  I'm not a doctor.  I live in Maryland near DC (KGAI) and spend a lot of time in SE North Carolina (near 60J).  I also travel to Florida and Pennsylvania a bit, so I'm happy to meet him anywhere in between.  Is he in the Philly area?  Please feel free to email me or message me on MS if you'd be willing to make an introduction.

Thank you very much!

We are in the Philly area. I’ll approach the guy to see where he is on his decision. I’ll drop you a PM if he is getting serious on selling or not.

Hello Adam -

 I have decided to sell my M20F Mooney (201 clone).  Here is the link on trade-a-plane:

It is a 1967 M20F Mooney but had the factory conversion in the mid 80's to turn it into a 201.  Very good IFR machine, tons of upgrades (see attached document).
