I'd bet your $275K is high for a selling price. One can buy a extremely nice MU2 for $300K. I'll let others chip in ... and depends how you define extremely nice ... but if you mean glass panel, low-time -10 engines, good mx history and good cosmetics, I think you're a couple suitcases of cash short at $300K.

Maybe Randy can chime in...
thanks,
--paul More like 300+ pph (for the pair) in cruise. The -1 is quite an efficient little engine.

In some cases with the very old models, Mitsubishi is buying them up as the active fleet goes to effectively zero so that they can close them up. Note this is NOT like what Beech did to the Starship or how they abandoned support on the Beechjet. I believe that there was only one MU-2 "B" model left in the fleet (the Bs were the first models and built in '67). When it came up for sale about 2-3 years ago, MHIA bought it and decommissioned it. Buy doing so they eliminated their need to provide support for an entire model literally to keep one single almost 50 year old airframe flying....

Explain this more please From what I am told: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has been quietly acquiring many of the much older airframes and retiring them. Many good parts. Much old engines and avionics. They have pledged to support the Mu2 as long as they are flying and they spend great sums of money doing this with safety seminars and parts and all the crap they mail me every single day...

This is a good buy for anyone looking to move to an entry level turbine. The panel alone is a gift. Don't let the 7500 hr inspection scare you. Wing de-mate should be a relatively low time exercise and an invitation to have a 100% airframe for years to come. How many years does it take to accumulate 1,000 hrs for the average owner flown turbine at 260 kts and 75-100 hrs/yr? I'll bet its more than 2 owners worth of time... This one should sell quickly. Get a good pre-buy @ IJSC
