Absolutely, but if they're not leaking now, and have never been done,
you need to plan on it. It's just one of those things.

Thanks for the tip... Wouldn't a Mooney A&P used for a pre-buy
inspection catch this? JK

Get in tough with the type club MAPA, I think, and they'll be able to
help. Also those Mooneys are notorious for leaking fuel tanks (wet
wings). Takes about $5K each side for the fix. Good luck.

They have a 1975 Mooney M20 N6832V, I think model "C" at my home
airport. The owners have had it for years and have traded up to a twin
Comanche (sp?). It has a new engine (250 hours) and a new 3 blade
McCaulley prop. The avionics are decent (Bendix KMA 24 audio, 2 - KX155
nav/com KT76a transponder, KR87 ADF and Garmin 150xl GPS). It has
7150 hours on the tach which seems quite high to me but I am really
quite the novice when it comes to airplanes. The interior and paint are
decent (6 for the interior, 8 for the paint). They are asking $45,000
for it. I have done some research and this seems like an OK price but I
haven't seen too many of these with this many hours. Please give me
some feeback without flaming me too bad. :-)
