You may like to do a search of this website for the user name of Steven_Rosenfeld, (You will require the underscore between the names.) Go back to his very first initial posts and then progress forward from that point.I believe you will find much useful information associated with his search of an aircraft.
Thank you for this tip Bill. I actually read through all of his posts. I learned quite a few helpful tips along the way. It appears that Steven is trying to find the perfect plane--close to where he lives, relatively low time, impeccable paperwork, and good price. As near as I can tell, he hasn't found his bird yet.
I think he is a bit pickier than I am. I would rather havea good plane to fly now than a perfect plane to fly "someday".
Also, thanks to you Bill, I looked at this plane on barnstormers.com

What do you all think?
I know that the main reason I want to take a look at this plane is that it is close to home. I assume that the KLX135A is a VFR only gps. What would it take to make this plane IFR certified? I don't have any IFR training at this time, but I would like to.
I am collecting information on a total of 5 planes mentioned in this thread--the one in Washington, Texas, South Carolina, Minnesota, and this one in Oregon.
This is a very exciting process and my wife tells me to quit obsessing over it and just buy a plane already.
