Detailed Description

LOWEST TT - 980 SMOH • SELLER FINANCING AVAILABLE • EXTENSIVE UPGRADES • VERY MOTIVATED SELLER - If you've been waiting for the right Malibu-this is it.

This is not a tired, deferred-maintenance airplane. It's a well-sorted, pressurized, FIKI-equipped Malibu with the right upgrades, a fresh annual inspection, and a seller who is serious about getting it SOLD.

**Bottom Line:** Turn-key, exceptionally well-equipped, and ready to travel immediately.

Qualified buyers may purchase this aircraft with **Seller Financing** using a substantial down payment and shorter terms than conventional bank financing.
