Hi Paul: Welcome to the group.... You have asked all the right questions for a prospective Coupe owner..... You can buy a clean, airworthy coupe with low time engine and about 2000 total hours for around $15-16,000. Most have at least some gyros instruments and have been updated over the years. Many in this price range have Mode C
transponders and radios. Maintenance is made easy due to the fact that there are new spares available from several sources and all the parts and service manuals are still in print. Just about all Coupes flying today have had the spar inspection AD complied with. Overall,Coupes are a super value for the money and you should seriously consider one. Rob 3040H
