One of the instructors at work is wanting to buy a Cessna 172, 177, 177RG or a Piper Comanche 180. If anyone knows of anything near them please let me know. The more details the better.
Thanks

He sold his Mooney 3 years ago. Now he has the itch agin. But 150 is a little too small for him and Comanche 250 is where he was at 3 years ago. Trying to stay fixed gear and fixed prop if he can.

There's a Comanche 180 on Barnstormers with low total time and 445 smoh for $22k. It has logbook issues. You have to search "Comanche 180" as it wont come up any other way. It's still for sale, I talked to the guy yesterday. It needs a radio stack, and likely $10k worth of maintenance.

Thanks, but he isn't looking for a project.

Wait a year and I will have a 70 Cherokee 140 with 160 hp ram Engine upgrade (Cylinders) . 2 G-5s, G-650, G-345 , G-500 Autopilot, and a JPI-830 Engine monitor . Just bought it today , upgrade avionics next month ,sell next year.
I have a friend who got his private ticket in a Comanche 180 and uses it to commute from Pa. to Chicago every time weather permits and is quite satisfied with his purchase. My 2 cents.
I had some experience with a buddies 180 Comanche years ago....flew it off and on for about a year or so. Best I ever saw was barely over 130 kts. The 250/260 Comanches are definitely nice improvements in all areas. All the Comanches are nice birds to fly and they are roomy to boot.
