What would I want as far as panel upgrades, I knew a little about planes but I know NOTHING about the instruments and panels really... Are there portables you can buy and mount on anything that make a big difference or is it plane by plane situations?

Well some of these planes look almost like the plane equivalent of a 70's shag van... It wouldnt be hard to rip carpet out and redo that plus the head liner and then either put new seats in or take them to get redone...

So you would take a Cherokee 6/300 over a Lance because of the fixed landing gear? Looks like a decent 6/300 can be had for around 75k ish.

Also no one has answered one of my previous many questions lol. About the interiors and doing work to the plane yourself.. Totally fine, frowned upon, illegal or what?

Also like your reply.. Ive read really good things about the 182, how does the 180 compare? Reason I ask is I know a guy that has a 1959 180 for sale for 45k and I believe its in good shape..

I really liked your reply, also that spreadsheet really helps put things into perspective... Im Really starting to like the N/A Lance even more, think it would work to learn in it? Or how long a runway would I need though, Is that something I am not taking into account enough? I dont really want...

I'll look into the Cherokee more

The reply to Lachlan kind of covers this one as well.

Well I'm in a very fortunate situation with what I sell. When comparing same spec'd buildings of larger sizes like 4,000sqft+ I have rarely if ever been outbid. So I see what your saying but fortunately its not going to be an issue with our prices.

Thank you for your detailed reply and things to look out for.

This week I'll try to plan a trip up to Weatherford with my boss and the SR22 to meet a new potential customer that I have only spoken to on the phone, if we can make the flight happen I think it will be a good "measuring stick" to evaluate how flying into meetings would affect the whole sales...

I like the SR's as well and from looking at for sale ads you could get a decent SR20 for about 100k less than a SR22 but both are 4 seat and 6 seat appeals to me ALOT. Plus if you go 4 seat then it'd be tempting to go for a bonanza which is cheaper at least to buy, and faster.... What would a...

It doesnt have to save me money, its more about time and being efficient with my time, well time is money.. As in if I can save a bunch of time traveling then I can get more done and generate more sales etc. Yes I would need to be on time but these would usually not be trips that are planned 2...

$5,000 does not scare me, used to pay more for a hellcat we had for about a year so that broke me in I guess lol. As far as the runway.. We want to remodel or build a house in NE TX so we dont have the land/house bought yet but that would just have to be in the criteria once we buy out there. I...

Yeah that 210 is pretty nice.. Please define insanely expensive. Do I need to be looking at fixed gear? Is there are 6 seat fixed gear in the price range that will cruise 170+?

trenton ,That is one clean plane!!! For that price I would want something faster though. There is another 0 engine time one for sale in tade a plane for about 100k less but does not look as good interior wise and does not have club seating. Which raises a question... Can you modify the interior...

Thank you for the great response! To address some questions/concerns: As for the business use of the plane, at first it would be used for meeting new potential clients where the meetings would be initiated by me probably 1 day to maybe a week out or so, so I should be able to work around the...

Little background ( skip down if you dont care for backgrounds): I sell bolt together metal buildings out of Texas and one of the owners of the company has a Cirrus SR22. The other day we flew from Midland, TX airport to Carlsbad, NM, met a client at the airport, closed an approximate $320,000...
