I own a Turbo Arrow III, Personally I would not be concerned with the TT,
but with the engine time, almost 1200 hours on an 1800 hour engine, an
engine that runs very hot and with a long history of cracking cyliners, to
many potential problems. Expensive problems.

I wouldn't either if the TT is less than 10,000 or so and the airplane
hasn't done a lot of low altitude work such as pipeline patrol, banner
towing, etc. All Al structures are subject to fatigue and we just don't
have a lot of experience with typical GA airframes with more than 10,000
hours TT. I know of several small airplanes with 8,000 or more hours,
but I've seen only a few with more than 10,000 hours. I'd be leery
flying one above 10,000 hours unless you know of several of that model
that have say 14,000 or more just for POM.
