A bonanza? Not for 100k.

A Bonanza? Yes. I bought one. My S35, which is the fastest model, cost
me $88K this past August. At 75% I indicate 165 Kts and usually true at
172-175 kts. That costs 15 gph. 165 kts true costs 13 gph. 155 kts true
costs 11 gph. Want to bust your buddy's in the 182's chops? 19" and 2100
gets me 135 kts IAS on 9 gph.

How are you leaning?

1271 useful(with 4 seats in) and a cabin that isn't a tomb to crawl into.
Look in Trade A Plane, there's a million of them for sale.

From the "Bonanza Guide" , Budd Davisson, Plane and Pilot, February, 2001

S35-1964
A third generation of Bonanza was born with the "S" model because the 0-470
was tossed out in favor of a healthy IO-520 with 285 horses. With this
engine, the Bonanza reached it's zenith in terms of power plants until the
turbo charged models came along two years later. The "S" also introduced
regular seats way back in the rear of the cabin that faced forward. They had
messed with an optional 5th seat since the 1961 "N" model, but it was a
marginal seat. With the "S" they had real seats back there. With slightly
less than 1,400 pounds useful, the airplanes could carry six people and
still fill the 50 gallon standard (80 gallons, optional) tanks as long as no
one carried any baggage.

The "S" also introduced the three-blade prop as an option.
