I'd like something structurally and mechanically sound with at least a digital flip-flop and a vor. I don't want a fastback (I like the window in the back) and don't really know the differences otherwise aside from cosmetic. As in straight (broom) or swept tail, I don't care (or know why one would be better than the other). Whatever gets the job done.
Perks would be IFR, vg's/stol, and strobes. Put strobes at the top for the visibility aspect. I'd rather have something not so fancy to look at but was well maintained otherwise if it's a deal. Unless there's a year that had better performance than another? Price, of course, is a consideration. As much as I'd like to spend 25k or more on something that has everything, realistically a 16k bird with basic vfr and low(ish) time would win.
Digital flip flop and a vor are "must have" items though. There are lots of frequency changes and featureless terrain around here.
