I need to know about planes?

What do you think about these planes?

• I know that they all need to be overhauled, except for the Comanche. I'm new to shopping for planes, so tell me if they look good. Are the avionics old? What will most likely have to be replaced? What is the fuel economy on those three planes? GPH? Etc. Tell me everything I will need to know...also, what will most likely be the cost to fix all these problems (overhauls, avionics replacement etc.) these planes will have? Thank you in advance. If they're not good, tell me of a plane that I'll be able to afford on a $80,000 salary. I have no kids or extra unneeded expenses. Also, this is a pretty crazy question, but is it possible to bring a plane of a Cherokee's size to a airport on a trailer or something? http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/PIPER-CHEROKEE-6-260/1965-PIPER-CHEROKEE-6-260/1195409.htm? http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/PIPER-CHEROKEE-6-300/1967-PIPER-CHEROKEE-6-300/1185925.htm? http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/PIPER-COMANCHE-260C/1969-PIPER-COMANCHE-260C/1199815.htm?

• Answer:

  $80k salary is not really enough to operate planes like these. 12gallons per hour of 100LL costs over $70 per hour. Airport fees, maintenance, scheduled and unscheduled, the annual inspection, insurance, etc will run you at least $15-20k per year. Forget about the cost of upgrading the instruments/avionics. Since you are single, why not buy a Light Sport Aircraft LSA? You can only carry one other person and they are slightly slower, but they can be owned and operated for a cost similar to owning a luxury car.
