Tim,

Let us go through your list, shall we?

This plane appeals to me for a couple of reaons.
1. Low time = not abused by a flight school.
Answer: Lots of planes like this out there.

2. Decent looking paint and interior
Answer: See answer for #1

3. Based fairly close to where I live so I can check it out in person before I buy
Answer: Is this worth $10-20,000 to you? No matter where you find an airplane, I would be willing to bet there would be somebody from this Forum close by willing to go and give it a looksie.

4. Sounds to be very well-maintained.
Answer: See answer for #1.

5. Doesn't appear to have any major upgrades to make it fit my typical flying needs.
Answer: See answer for #1

So, the way I see it, if having an airplane close to you to buy is the priority. And it is worth $10-20,000 or so extra to you to have this, then maybe this is your airplane.

Otherwise, I have no doubt that you can find an equal, or nearly equal, plane for a whole lot less money else where.
