Mooneymechanic Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 Have a 90 hr engine rebuilt with a new crank and an overhauled b style prop , come fly it before you buy it, best offer exchange is going to own them Quote
aerobat95 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 Why are you selling it? What are you realistically looking to get for it? Quote
jetdriven Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 I'll tell you the core value is 15 grand from Airpower. Sheesh! Quote
Mooneymechanic Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Posted September 18, 2012 I am selling it because unfortunatley it will be quicker and easier to get my money out of the plane in parts than selling it whole, How about the prop at 5 k and the engine at 17k exchange, Quote
jetdriven Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 For 2k more than that you can get your engine overhauled and have a warranty etc. http://www.customairmotive.com/main/price_list_overhaul_textron.html Quote
triple8s Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 I HATE to see these planes parted out, but the silver lining is that maybe one plane will keep several others airworthy for a few more years. Quote
Mooneymechanic Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Posted September 18, 2012 Yep me too, I bought this one with the intention of parting it out but after flying it home it flew so nice and i knew how much the previous owner had put into it (over 100k ) and felt guilty at the thought of it so I thought I would go ahead and finish the restoration he had started instead, I put a new leather interior in and repainted it and did the extensive list of deficiancies it came with( over 30 things on the list )for the anuall including all new fuel and oil lines, new exhaust ect , new wheels brake discs ect , but then when I went to sell it a small group have been so busy bad mouthing the plane in the mooney community it has not sold, so much as I have tried to keep this great plane flying it is not to be, and unfortunately I cannot own two planes again, So bottom line I am parting out what is as close to a brand new mooney e model as exists today. I have completely rebuilt three other Pre j model moneys and have become friends with the new owners and it's a great feeling to see one of these great birds put back in the air , but a guy can only swim upstream for so long before he has to figure out its better to use the tide to his advantage, It literally made me sick to my Stomac to pull the awesome garmin stack and auto pilot out of this thing the other day. Feel like I let the previous owner down ! And it's just a waste of the beautiful work pippin York did putting it all together. Quote
