Tiger is great for that. 140 kt cruise, decent payload and range, they usually are much more expensive.
I have never flown a Tiger that does 140kts. 120kts is more realistic and have flown many Tigers.
Upgraded those planes have asking prices of around 40k
Only when "bargains" like this one are not for sale. The problem with types where only a few are for sale at one time is that just one for sale at a low price like this skews the market into thinking all of the type should be as cheap.
Never, ever, think you will make money from upgrading. Upgrade because you want to.
i agree, spending money on an autopilot is a waste of time. I suspect that the seller doesn't know that it has an autopilot (usually they had a Century 1 which most people think is just a turn and slip indicator).
