The older PA32s are great. I have had a 82 fixed gear Toga for 10 years. It’s like a member of the family, and unlike some members of the family it has never let me down! :clap:

Congratulations on a nice purchase. Fly her till you wear her and get your IFR while doing it. Then you have a true family travel machine.

Had my heart set on a Bo ever since I started back flying a year ago but I just couldn't pass up this deal. The plane has been pampered for the last 22 years by an owner with a big,fat, open wallet. Just the cowling update is $44k now. Every LoPresti mod available, beautiful paint, beautiful leather interior and a capable panel. Engine only has 300 hours SMOH and the plane has 4,200 TT.

Just waiting on an annual and then 25 hours of transition time.

Mama REALLY likes it, but then again she has been flying with me in the C-150 so almost anything would be an upgrade. After 100 hours in the Cessna it feels like I could play half-court basketball in this one.

Great cabins. Single mag issue is a pain. But a comfortable ride indeed and should be good for 150Kts.
