3) Probably the most important thing, your plane is a known quantity.
Most of us are buying planes that are 20 to 30 years old. At that age
there can be a lot of gottchas. The risk of a gottcha with the plane
you know well is less than something you've never seen. There are many
gottchas that don't get caught on even the most complete inspection.

Assuming a $70K purchase price on the Arrow, the math comes to over $240K
total. Quite a number of 2003+ glass-cockpit Cirrus SR-20's for that price
with comparable performance and payload. Maybe he doesn't like the Cirruses
but the options are wide open if he knew what he had to spend (that's a big
"if"). Very possibly could have been just a case of the update bug gone
wild.
