My buddy has one. He has had major engine/turbocharger expenses.

Lycoming problem?

He wishes he had a "simple" 182, which is nowhere near as sexy, but
is way easier on the pocketbook

Should be, being AT LEAST ten years older (I'm looking at a 1994 model).

and lands damn near anywhere...

My impression is the gear on a Commander is indestrucible, particularly with
