You are looking at at least $1.5 mill to buy an old one of those and not quite within the budget of the thread poster who quoted £150 K!
At the end of the day with the TBM or PC12 at night, over sea or Fog banks you still own a semi detached house
The Diamond Twin Star is now a pretty good aircraft which is economical albeit only with seating for 4.
I do feel there is a gap in available twins which are all weather aircraft.
It is a shame that the promised low cost baby turbines never appeared to materialise.
I believe one was being developed for Mooney some time back? as I never felt the Diesel was the answer.
So it is now VLJs or single larger turbines while I am sure there would be a market for a Six Seater baby twin turbine especially pressurised.
