Mooneys
I have owned a Mooney M20J and wonder why you feel you need for a turbo? They are really best suited to people who need to operate from hot and high altitudes or cross mountain ranges etc. Their true potential is not realised in the UK and near Europe destinations.
The turbo engine also rarely reaches TBO and often requires a top end overhaul long before they reach full TBO.
If I were you I would concentrate on the well proven Lycoming injected versions. Just my two pence worth.
Overall they are a great aircraft, economical and quick and despite the comments above can be operated from most grass strips with the caveat to keep the wheel bays clean.
If you were based closer to the borders I would consider sharing one with you.
