I was looking at this ad on Trade A Plane:
https://www.trade-a-plane.com/mobile/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=PIPER&model=TURBO+ARROW+III&listing_id=2256569&s-type=aircraft
I have no experience with a turbocharged engine. What is the useful remaining life of an overhauled turbo engine assuming normal operation?
I have no idea if this is a reasonably priced aircraft, but I'm considering moving up a more capable airplane for >1000nm trips even though I expect most of my flying to still be <200nm.
There's a gent at my airport whose opinion I respect that says a turbo arrow is one of the best values in aviation for cross country traveling. I have about 25 hours in NA Arrows so have that for reference.
