How much does a Mooney M20R Ovation cost?

The median asking price for a Mooney M20R Ovation on PlaneFox is EUR 295,000, measured across the Mooney M20R Ovation listings on the site today. Prices run from EUR 295,000 for older, higher-time airframes up to EUR 295,000 for newer, low-time aircraft. Year of manufacture, airframe hours, avionics and condition account for most of that spread.

What is the price range for a used Mooney M20R Ovation?

Mooney M20R Ovation aircraft listed on PlaneFox range from EUR 295,000 to EUR 295,000, with a median asking price of EUR 295,000. Late model years with low airframe hours and a modern glass panel sit at the top of that range; early airframes with high hours and analogue instruments sit at the bottom.

How many Mooney M20R Ovation aircraft are for sale right now?

PlaneFox lists 9 Mooney M20R Ovation aircraft for sale right now, gathered from the broker and dealer sites it watches. The count moves through the week as those sources are re-read. Because PlaneFox reads the same listings repeatedly over time, it also shows which have cut their asking price and which have sold.

Where can I find a Mooney M20R Ovation for sale?

Every Mooney M20R Ovation PlaneFox can see is on this page — 9 of them, gathered from the broker and dealer sites it re-reads continuously. Most are listed in Germany (1), followed by Luxembourg (1), Switzerland (1) and United States (1). Each listing links straight through to the seller, so a Mooney M20R Ovation in another country is worth considering rather than filtering out.

What should I check when buying a used Mooney M20R Ovation?

On a used Mooney M20R Ovation, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Mooney M20R Ovation

Aircraft overview

The Mooney M20R Ovation is a high performance, retractable gear, four seat piston single from Mooney Aircraft. Introduced in the mid 1990s and certified in 1994, it belongs to the long body M20 family and was developed as the normally aspirated companion to Mooney’s faster turbocharged models. Its importance in the used market comes from a clear mission profile: efficient cross country travel at high true airspeeds without the operating complexity of turbocharging. Compared with earlier M20 variants, the M20R Ovation uses a longer fuselage and a six cylinder Continental engine, while retaining the Mooney emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency.

Performance & specifications

Typical cruise performance for a Mooney M20R Ovation is commonly in the 175 to 190 knot range, depending on altitude, power setting, propeller, engine condition and loading. Maximum range is often quoted at more than 1,000 nautical miles with appropriate fuel planning, making it a capable personal transport for long legs. Useful load varies by equipment and individual airframe, with many aircraft falling roughly around the 900 to 1,050 lb range. The service ceiling is 20,000 feet. Power is provided by a Continental IO-550-G, a normally aspirated, fuel injected six cylinder engine rated at 280 hp in the M20R application.

Cabin & avionics

The M20R Ovation seats four in a compact but relatively long cabin compared with earlier short body and mid body Mooneys. Buyers should expect a low seating position, efficient use of space, one cabin door on the right side and a baggage area suitable for typical touring missions rather than large utility loads. Early examples are often found with BendixKing avionics, autopilots and later retrofits such as Garmin GNS or GTN navigators, ADS-B equipment and modern engine monitors. Later Ovation 2 GX and related factory configurations may have Garmin G1000 integrated avionics. Garmin Perspective is not a typical Mooney M20R Ovation installation.

Buying & value

Condition, maintenance history and equipment level have a major effect on M20R Ovation values. Pre purchase attention should include the Continental IO-550-G logbooks, propeller status, fuel tank sealing, landing gear rigging, corrosion inspection, autopilot performance and the age of avionics databases and displays. Common market distinctions include early Ovation aircraft, Ovation 2 updates, GX glass cockpit aircraft and later Ovation 3 related upgrades with different propeller and performance configurations. On PlaneFox listings, current observed asking data is around EUR 295,000, with the listed range also at EUR 295,000 to EUR 295,000, reflecting a limited sample rather than the entire market.
