Hello,
I am a VFR pilot looking to buy something to get my IFR and fly the family around. I have a potential co-owner and we are looking for something that seats 4, at least 800 lbs useful load, ADSB-out, GPS w/ WAAS, and under $60K (I know, that is still a lot of planes!). We are starting to think that we might be able to get into a Bonanza but I know there are all kinds of things to look out for when getting into some of the older ones. Hence, I am here!

Hopefully you’re aware “seats 4” and “can carry 4” are very different characteristics. At 800 useful, 4 modern adults leaves barely enough fuel for IFR reserves.
Thanks, I am already finding a lot while exploring on here. And yes, I am aware. My family is skinny (for now) with all four of us weighing in at 410lbs ramp weight. I know that will change as the kids grow, but these are first plane goals.
