Good luck with your search, Jeff and you're not out of line posting this on the forum.
Good airplanes are selling pretty well right now and they sell pretty quickly since the economy has sustained itself so well for a couple years now. People have a lot of confidence now to make a move like buying a plane (and many other items).
I know little about the Cessna RG system but I sense they are probably all similar on their high wing planes?
Kirk has his 177RG, he's mechanically savvy and I believe he's pretty well been completely through his so if they are as similar as I think they are, he could probably add something to this discussion.
Past all that, keep us posted on your progress, though there are several of us here who will tell you to just buy a Bonanza.....airline pilots, math professors, teachers and trailer peddlers fly them so you'd be in good company.
