My soon-to-be Mooney 205
We agreed on a price a couple of days ago and the contract is signed today. Tomorrow, my soon to be new-to-me Mooney 205SE will go to Cole Aviation for an pre-buy and annual.
Here’s the specs:

TT: 1570
SNEW: 985
Prop: 985
Paint: 1995
160kts 11gph cruise
843Lbs Useful load, eligible for increase to 1,000

Niceties that come with the 1988 model:
Split, removable rear seats. Front seats are fully articulating and have pump up lumbar support. Extra dense sound insulation. Model 252 Wing tips that include extra halogen marker lights. 3 point strobes. Model 252 speed modifications making this bird 5 knots faster than a standard J.
If all goes well with the pre-buy, it could be ready for me to pick up as early as next Thursday. (fingers crossed!)
