Jeff, thanks for the advice.
Money would be the only deal breaker with the intercom though, not the intercom itself. Remember, I'm out for a very good deal. I don't intend to keep the plane for more than 2 yrs so need to be very careful I buy for a good price. Obviously, the high the price or $$ for upgrades, the more I'll lose in the sale. I don't intend to lose anything when I sell. That may be a unrealistic expectation, but it will depend on the market and how low I can haggle the initial purchase price down to. I don't intend to do any upgrades for myself while owning the plane, just keep up with all maintenance. I plan to fly what I buy.

Anyhow, I'm starting to call avionics shops now to see what I can get price-wise. I just need a simple panel-mounted system with dual ptt. If anyone has pulled one and has it for sale, please let me know. Thanks!!
