ACTUAL BOOK REVIEW FEEDBACK

"Zef, Almost done with your book!  I'm reading slower so it won't be done! It's a great read not only for Mooniacs, but for anyone who wants to be a plane owner. " Bill Custer 

"Dear Mr. Zephro, Your new book is the most informative that I have read not just about Mooneys but about the ownership process for any brand of airplane. I look forward to reading the rest of the series once you write those." Ed Harris

"Wow, what an interesting and informative book! You've made me rethink the buying process and I am grateful not just for that, but for all of the articles you have written about Mooney's and flying in general. You have a way to help make people think. Please keep writing!" Art Mingle

"Mr. Z, This is the best 40 bucks that I have ever spent! There are so many outlined ways to save money while learning so much about airplanes in general and I believe that I'll be a better pilot for it. Keep up the great work and good luck with your new book" Jim Dougherty  

"Hi Richard: Just wanted you to know that I read your book with great interest and very happy I purchased this from you.  It is well written and constructed with interesting stories to boot, and best of all I now know a lot more about my favorite Airplane". Norman Learo

NOTE TO BUYERS

Your choices for aircraft are difficult at best.  A good percentage of the business  we do is the location of the proper Mooney for your needs and requirements at no cost to the buyer.  We will use our 36 years flying experience, 5000 hours of flying time (mostly in Mooney's), and 18 years of experience in the resale and acquisition of Mooney's exclusively, to locate the best possible Mooney out there in your budget and see the deal through consummation and beyond.  What we mean by "beyond" is our wealth of information regarding Mooney's and all of the tips that we acquired through experience will be available to you, the purchaser, as long as you wish.  We will share with you all the tips on how to save money on maintenance and keep the aircraft safely operational on a beer budget with champagne results.  Additionally, we save our customers serious dollars over the years by offering our cost on aviation related purchases when we get a discount as a dealer.  Otherwise, we will steer you to the best place to make your purchase at the lowest cost possible.  

We will save you money right quickly on an aircraft that will fit your mission by speaking with the current owner and mechanic, to help reduce surprises that may come up at the pre-purchase inspection. Over the years we have gained experience and knowledge to help insure that we are being told the truth by the seller and their mechanic before putting the aircraft into pre-purchase. If we do not like the answers given, we pass on the aircraft and move on to the next.

Because of dealer networks and many other sources of available aircraft, we are able to chose from a wider variety of airplanes than the average buyer.  All we ask is that you do not set us loose to find an aircraft for you until you are ready to make a purchase, so that our efforts are not wasted and we can make the best deal possible for you. We spend an average of 2-3 hours on the phone per aircraft we consider before alerting you.  The final choice of recommended aircraft, of course, is always yours.  The happiest aircraft owners are those that have chosen a professional to ferret out the best aircraft within a given budget.  Time is money and experience is king.  Let us at Coast to Coast Aircraft be your power.  

One additional item:  due to our specialty in Mooney aircraft for 18 years, we meet the all important need of repeat business needed in order to maintain specialization.  We are not about to "bury" or put our customers in a upside-down position price wise in an aircraft.  Our goal is to resale your aircraft at a profit to you and handle all of your upgrade needs. Price and value of a given aircraft is of monumental importance to us.  It would be an embarrassment to remarket your aircraft and have you take a loss.

Although there is no cost to you; as previously mentioned, we will require an agreement so that our time, effort, experience, and expenditures are not wasted.  If you are a serious buyer, we will seriously use all resources to locate the right aircraft for you.  

If you would like to speak to us about using our location service or to find out more about us and our techniques, please feel free to call us at (830) 899-2600 or send an email to mooneyland@gvtc.com. Fly safe!

NOTE TO BUYERS AND SELLERS

We at Coast to Coast Aircraft have been specializing in the acquisition and sales of Mooney aircraft exclusively for 18 years. We have thrived on repeat business and if that aspect of business had not existed, we could in no way continue on our beloved specialty. We have had up to 4 different transactions with some Mooney customers over the years, and they keep coming back.

The reason, we feel, is the service, information, help, and our shared knowledge with the customer, before and after the sale, and fairness in their dealings with us.

We do not have a fancy, expensive show room hanger, nor do we have employed sales people on commission, as some dealers do, that only adds to the cost to the customer on both sale and purchase.

Our goal is to gain and supply fine pre-owned Mooney aircraft without the need of a huge overhead to save all customers money.

Many dealers add up to 20% profit to an airplane to help pay for their huge overhead at the larger airports, floor planning expenses, and commissions to sales people. You will not find that at Coast to Coast Aircraft. Without all those expenditures, we can obviously afford to allow the seller his maximum dollar realized, while we care for the sale start to finish for them and a lower acquisition price for the buyer.

When we are directed to locate a specific model for a buyer, we can do so at virtually no cost to them and they have the benefit of our many years of Mooney experience to locate, ask the pertinent questions, speak to the seller and his or her mechanic to see if a given airplane is worthy of further examination. All this saves the buyer serious time and money plus, they can be assured that our vast knowledge is used in the location of the best Mooney aircraft available.

There are few remaining in this specialty that have lasted the length of time we have. Personalized, caring service is what we credit for our success. Give great service before and after the sale, the best prices possible due to a much lower overhead, treat the customer as we would wish to be treated...this is the secret to our success, and we have no plans to change that.

Please consider that when in the market to acquire or sell your Mooney. Our promise is to do our very best to aid you.

We deeply appreciate all of our customers, past, present and future.  We back that up by including money and perhaps, life saving tips for Mooney owners and operators on our website. Fly safe!

Whether you are a first time Mooney aircraft owner or “stepping up”, we at Coast to Coast Aircraft understand the mixed emotions involved.  The joy, fear, anxiety and passion all rolled into one- each of these emotions you will experience.  

Coast to Coast Aircraft  is here to experience them with you.  

We want you to be completely satisfied with the service you will or you have received from us.

That is because of our responsibility in ensuring that EACH customer enjoys extreme satisfaction throughout the buying process that we limit our inventory so as to provide more direct, one on one contact.  We will always be here for you, just as we have for the hundreds of our satisfied customers over the past 18 years!!

The joy of owning your own airplane compares to no other.  Why not begin experiencing your dream now?

We also support you in other ways, so please take a moment to browse our website and see!

Be sure and see our maintenance tips in the Wing Tips section, as well as, for great Italian recipes (we realize not everyone is consumed with aviation, but most are consumed with food consumption!)

Serving the Mooney Community for over 20 years!

What Other's Say

Hi Richard,
"I honestly believe you have no idea the people and pilots you have
helped over the years. I've spent over 1,000,000 dollars on my 4 Mooney airplanes (that number might be low) and travel across America including the factory and haven't found anyone yet that knows more about Mooney's and is as helpful as you. Id bet my life any day on your advice how to fly my plane. You are a great friend and wonderful aviator!
If it wasn’t for you Richard ….. The time you spent (countless hours with me on the phone) I wouldn’t be nearly the pilot I am today. You encouraged me to get better and practice every chance I could! You taught me THE BASICS that have applied from the first 201 you sold me to my New Acclaim. Thank you Richard, you are the expert of experts and have become a great friend". Tom Leonard N233KT

New Acclaim paint. What is Mooney thinking?!

Oh YUCK! I recommended to Mooney that they call their new Acclaim Speed-King the "RAPTOR" with a wild paint to match the name, but here's what we got! A USPS letter delivery plane? Way to go Mooney!

Encore, Bravo, Ovation, and Acclaim belong to the opera house, not to the fastest, meanest production airplane in it's class! Sorry, I just couldn't shut up about this latest marketing blunder.... C'mon guys!
