A lot of us can not afford the $100K+ aircraft. Even Taylor is a bit too
expensive at $54K. When can we expect to see something in the $15 to 25K
range?

You can probably get a Garmin 430, audio panel and transponder for
that. Installed, too! Good start.

Seriously, there are many good older planes that are available, and
prices are actually starting to increase for these and will continue
as long as people are willing to pay. Saw a $22,000 Ercoupe the other
day that probably couldn't sell a year ago for $16K. As with
everything else, you need to be very careful now that this new
"feature" has been tagged on an airplane.
