The best one your money can buy that has the turbo-charged engines.

Get a seneca V, some on the market at very good price.

Hello!

If money is not an issue: A Seneca V. But not one of those that are downgraded to 1999kg to avoid Eurocontrol route charges as this leaves almost no margin for payload and fuel. The V has good performance (speed and range) and more modern avionics and instruments than the other ones.

If money is a factor: A Seneca II with turbochargers. Nicest handling of all Senecas (although still very unpleasant compared to any other aircraft I have come across), good short field performance and good payload.

With budget in mind, bang for buck, a good Seneca II with -EB engines and the big tanks (123 USG).

The ones I've looked at and have seen had the best payload with full fuel of the lot, were relatively cheap to buy and will do basically the same a III or IV does for a lot less money.

Watch out for the Engine type, the -EB engines have 1800 hrs TBO, the -E only 1400....
