The 250 is an excellent plane - while I have been heard to say I can't
understand why Comanche owners are prepared to sell their planes for this
kind of money when C172 and C182 sell for double this price, I'd say get a
prebuy done and buy the plane.

The Comanche series is excellent and has good backup from the Comanche
Society and several companies that provide parts, especially Webco in
Newton, Kansas. Parts are available without too much difficulty, and if well
maintained there is no special maintenance problem with a Comanche over any
other type of aircraft. The laminar flow wing is especially good and it is a
fast plane for the money and the low operating cost.

The Comanche Society has a magazine with vendors advertising suppliers and
giving maintenance tips - I like the Comanche and I share with many people
the opinion that it is the best plane in that category, regardless of price.

That panel alone cost a ton of money - deduct that expense and you are
getting the plane extraordinarily cheaply.

Just be thorough with the prebuy.

Im looking into a 1964 comanche 250 to buy for 65,000(a good friend of
mine, he is going to buy a glass cockpit for his MU-2 with the 65,000).
Any way it has duel KX155, ADF, Autopilot, DME, ect. very nice panel.
Its going to need paint and interior. 400 on the motor and a new prop.
Hangered it whole life. Complete logs. Does this sound like a good deal?
Or could I find better? Also any info on the comanche 250 would help.
