It can be done, but one must be very careful in purchasing.
Knowledge sufficient to self-installation (with IA guidance) also helps.
I got a full digital King IFR panel (VFR GPS/COM, 2nd COM, RNAV/GS, NAV,
transponder, encoder, audio panel, intercom) for $4500. Gotta love (and
hate) EBay. My IA put in a KLN-90B he got for $1k. Another $1k for
annunciators/indicators and he'll have approach-capable GPS.
