I have a 1967 'C' model Mooney and am thinking about upgrading. I'll
probably end up with a Mooney 231/252/262, but I'm looking at everything
turbocharged. In poking around Barron's web site I saw the following:
http://www.barronthomas.com/34772.htm

Garmin 430 and Garmin 530. Known ice and factory air conditioning with
reasonable times and a good price. I called and talked with him last
week. He was pleasant enough if not terribly helpful. I made an
appointemnt to see the Seneca today at 1pm. I walked into his office at
exactly 1:00 pm. No Barron. His secretary paged him. No Barron. She
paged him again at 1:15 pm. No Barron. She paged him at 1:30 pm. No
Barron. She paged him at 1:45 pm. No Barron but he called the office and
said he would be there in 15 minutes. At 2:00 pm and no Barron, I left.

I had tied down a fair distance away. Just as I was getting back to the
Mooney, here comes Barron in a bright yellow Hummer. He said we could go
look at the Seneca now if I want. It wasn't even there ! It was at
another airport we would have to fly to. I told him no thanks, I have
other appointments I have to attend.

Barron won't be getting my business with this or any future transaction.
Since I doubt Barron owns the plane outright, he's probably just
brokering it, I wonder if the owner knows how he's screwing potential
buyers ?
