About the Mooney 231
The Mooney 231 (M20K) is the turbocharged Mooney — introduced 1979 with a 210 hp Continental TSIO-360 engine that holds power to altitude, cruising in the low 200s of knots above 16,000 feet. The original 231 was followed by the intercooled 252 (1986) and the further-refined Encore (1997+), each addressing the original's heat-management issues. For high, hot or mountain flying in a Mooney, the M20K family is the right choice — the price is somewhat thirstier fuel burn and the maintenance overhead of a turbocharged engine.

Buying a Used Mooney 231
When buying a Mooney 231, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.
What to check before buying
- Engine time to overhaul — hours and years remaining drive price more than total airframe time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
- Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
