Good Used 4 Seaters
Well... I hafta agree.....
We have one, (PA28-151) After tons of research, and some luck, we got a good one. It is affordable.. and good mission profile. Does the job at a cost of operation that enables us to just go flying without thinking twice about the cost for an hour of flying fun... We had a 172 for two yrs before the Warrior.. Our Cessna was a good aircraft, about the same mission profile, but definately NOT the same aircraft. The Warrior is better at just about everything we like.. YMMV!

The Warrior II looks like the best value for money (much more limited market). Bog standard systems, reasonable useful load, every LAME and his dog has worked on one, reasonable cost of ownership, speed and capability, reasonable (for me anyway) mission profile. Hard to get into trouble in one, relatively forgiving, and not bad looking. Bits and pieces easy to find, and Piper are still building the Warrior (albeit the III). Mods available and still getting new accessories made. Entry cost for a 1970s something job with reasonable times much less than the LSA options. Seems the advent of LSA might just be driving the costs of these certified beasts down. As one poster pointed out, his club's quite nice Warrior II went for US$35K, that's gotta be a better than average price point. So my vote would be a Warrior II over a C172M,N,P. Of couse YMMV Cheers, Kevin "Curt Fennell" wrote in message .. . Hi, Folks... I've been recently researching aircraft that I might want to purchase on a limited budget and I was wondering what the general consensus is on inexpensive 4-seaters to own. It seems to me that 4-seaters available in my price range are all pretty old - Pacers, older 172s and Stinson 108's. I have no objection to the aircraft being old, but I do want a safe one. Does anybody have any thoughts on 4-seaters in the $30k-$40k range? Am I completely fooling myself or can I get a decent older bird for that price that will carry 4 people for a $400 hamburger on the weekends? Curt -- "Captain Curt" Fennell |

Good morning or good evening depending upon your location. I want to ask you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.
