Im looking at buying my first plane and was set on a archer or cherokee 180. I was shopping around and seems like the arrows go for less money than a decent cherokee or archer. Im looking for a plane with around 1000 pound useful load and around $100,000 with a mid-time engine. Not really concerned too much about speed but the faster the better. Id like one IFR rated i dont need full glass panel but would like some decent avionics. Is this possible for around $100,000. It seems like you can get more plane for less money with the Arrow than the archer or Cherokee. How much more would the annual be on the arrow vs the archer on average. I know insurance would be quit a bit more on the arrow as well. A Tiger would be perfect but looks like the run in the $130000+ range. I was also checking out the Cherokee 235. You guys have way more experience so I figured id get some advice from you guys or if you had any other recommendations on different planes. I rent a 172 now but its getting to were its all booked up and can never fly so id figure id look into purchasing one for myself.
