Description

Price DROP! Very low hours Meridian (M500) with Garmin Touch Avionics, and 2023 new Paint and Interior. All relevant Meridian / M500 Airframe Systems Mods / Upgrades done to latest state (pressurization improvement, oil breather relocation, large battery STC, many more), all fresh component overhauls, like new inside out and very low total hours. That paired with avionics much more modern than any G1000, this plane - to some - might seem "better than new". Maintained by PA46T Experts: Last annual (and our own purchase inspection) done at Midwest Malibu Center in Kansas, one of the prime shops for PA46 aircraft. Since then meticulously maintained at Piper Germany. We bought this always N-Reg beauty from a Texas owner (who we became friends with in the meantime), who upgraded her with a new beautiful interior, the most amazing Garmin touch avionics, as well as a new allround strip-down paintjob (which was a matter of taste only to bring it to a newer-style paint-scheme, as the previous one was in top shape). When we acquired this plane, we were looking for a lowest-hour 2006-2009, as by 2006 the major airframe / systems changes to the Meridian were all done, and starting 2009 they were married to the G1000 (preventing upgrades to the most modern avionics like these), so we could make it the perfect Meridian. This one already had it all, and we completed it with fresh component overhauls and some little addons like LED lights etc. In our most extensive prepurchase inspection at Midwest Malibu Center in 03/2023, we went all in and got everything recommended (but not mandatory) done for extra safety: FCU Overhaul, Prop Overhaul, lots of smaller components overhauled. Midwest Malibu will be happy to confirm no $ was spared. We spent 150K+ in total upgrades. Since then we have flown about 200 trouble free hours, so she has been very actively flown recently and any smaller issues that show up with frequent use have been constantly detected and resolved right away (frequent compressor & ct rinses, new tires and completely new brakes end of 2023, landing gear tolerances adjusted and bushings renewed end of 2023, etc. ) Why in anyone’s right mind are we offering her for sale? Well, our missions demand a different plane now, so this unique beauty can be yours. All Logs since birth included Always professionally flown, and flown exclusively by one commercial pilot (trained by a well-known PA46 specialist instructor) for the last 200hrs. No Damage History whatsoever, no exceedances. Will be delivered with fresh annual (due 04/2024), which can be combined with a purchase inspection if desired. Delivery to U.S. and many other parts of the world can be arranged without issue, or assistance with ferry provided. Complete compressor wash kit available with sale, so compressor rinses can be done frequently at your home base.
