I always tell them it’s a TBM7 (which they all are).


Yup, and it’s right there on the data plate if they don’t believe you. :peace:

If anyone is still looking there is a 3400 hr. TBM-850 onTextron's used listing accessible by going to either the Cessna or Beechcraft sites and further clicking preowned. Enjoy. :clap:

The inventory levels for 850s is in a much more balanced place than it was a year ago. Prices are still high though.

This one (N1UL) is also on Controller.

I have a good friend flying one. They only took delivery around a month ago, but I can put you in touch if you'd like.

Got some time in the 850, to me it felt like a turbine conversion, good cruise speed, but for the price point come up a little and the PC12 is far more aircraft

Well, in fact, it is a turbine conversion. Derived from the piston powered Mooney 301. But I don’t feel like it is any less airplane than a PC 12. Just built for a different mission than the PC12, but will rattle the windows of a PC12 as it passes overhead ;-)

I get the mooney bit, but the build quality is far less, plus being able to go backcountry to the flight levels at 270kts, for me the TBM would have to be half the price

Build quality far less is a strong claim. Be interesting to see what Terry M has to say after owning and working on 2 TBMs? And doing avionics all these years, Terry I hope you chime in here.

Different missions. Both have their good and bad points.

Build quality is excellent, and I have a career working all the corporate jets. It's up there with Dassault products
