The good airplanes are selling fast Jim and I haven't counted out a Bonanza but I know nearly nothing about them as in what model to look for, issues particular to this model or that, etc.. I would also not be opposed to a fixed gear 182 but they are even harder to find before they are sold.
I would like something that has decent avionics that someone else has paid for rather than putting it all in myself. This will probably be the last plane I purchase so I am not in a rush and won't fall in love with a pretty paint job although that would be nice to have as well.
I have patience so I will continue to search for the right one
