I have been looking at planes with a couple of partners. We are looking at Piper 180's and some 140's. There are a lot of planes out there for sale right now, some seem like great deals, others seem really high priced. We have found several with 1,300 hour SMOH, good avionics and clean aircraft for a pretty good price. Then we have found some 700 SMOH or less and old outdated electronics relatively cheap.
my question is this, in your opinion or expertise (if that exists) would you rather have a upper mid time engine and newer electronics or a mid to low time engine and out dated electronics? all be known that this aircraft will be used for training and a stepping stone to eventually something bigger, faster etc. down the road in the next 3-5 years of use. Assuming flying with 3 partners no more than 150 hours a year etc.
thank you
