LOL....for $45k you can get more plane than that.
 
You don't have the Piper autopilot in the list... is it inop, or does it work?

Useful load? Fuel capacity?

Holy crap, 8000hr airframe with meh panel and a midtime fetches 45?? The market must have rebounded in the past 6 months.
 
It may be high time, with an older panel, but its a lucky airplane!
I flew my instrument checkride in it in 1996!

If I can put in a plug for the Cap City airplanes, they were never put up wet and I had nearly 100% dispatch reliability when I flew with them.

Kinda what I thought, but I'm neither purchasing nor selling an aircraft just now. If they can get that more power to them.

AFAIK the autopilot works. I'll have to add that.

Useful load is 1,004 pounds, fuel capacity is 48 gallons topped or 34 to the tabs and the plane burns right on 10 gallons per tach hour (so slightly less per clock hour.) So, you can top it and take 716 pounds in the cabin - That's 4 179-lb people or three and bags - Or fuel to the tabs and take 800 pounds (4 180-pound people plus 20 pounds of bags apiece.)
 
Sounds like a good, honest airplane.
