High time airframe question

Assuming proper maintanence and a good airframe log/book inspection,
are there any concerns about high time airframes, like insurability,
etc? My partners and I are looking at a warrior with over 11,000
AFTT.

There is no life limit on the Warrior airframe. The only Piper I know of
that has a limit is the wing/spar structure on the Tomahawk (around 11K hrs.,
IIRC).

I'd take an old airframe that has been well maintained over a low time
airframe that's spent it's life sitting parked. Last year I flew a rental
Warrior with more than 14,000 hrs. on the airframe. It was in better shape
than most of the personally owned low time aircraft on the field.
