I flew the G1 for about 1500 hours some years ago. It's a superb airplane. Look for one with the -8X engines, they'll give you a bit better performance when it's hot out.
Props could be getting scarce for the G1. It had basically the same prop as the F-27F which we also operated, and back five years ago Piedmont was telling us to stock up on propeller blades if we ran across any. Something else to look out for is corrosion in the tanks. If the previous operator flew mostly in warm and humid conditions and skimped on the Bioboar, there could be a problem with corrosion. Other than that, the bugs have been pretty well worked out of machine. You don't see a lot of AD's on the G1, unlike some of the newer plastic turboprops.
