Theres nothing wrong with a design that requires training. Just because pilots are idiots does not make a bad design.
$75k to spend

You could probably afford one that needs fabric and an engine for that.

I could find a decent one, I’m a good airplane shopper.

Ran across this airplane, might go look at it next weekend. Avionics aren't horrible, but needs ADS-B and a GPS. Paint is awesome. Its priced below its Vref evaluation, which makes me wonder what is wrong with it. Anyone know of any issues with this vintage of 182?

Ask Island Air how those American Eagle ATR-72's worked out.

Considering I don't have their number, is there any other way I could find out how they worked out?

I got a type rating for the ATR-72 and ended up back in the baby dash without setting foot in the ATR.
They eventually did get some non-corroded airframes.

Many of the ATR's that they purchased from Eagle were too corroded to put into service. Got it.

Looking closer, you would probably want to gut the panel. Those Narco radios are oooooold and even if you can still get them repaired the wiring is ancient and you’re going to have gremlins everywhere. My opinion only.

Having experienced Carb icing at night and a thousand hours in an A 36 Bonanza, my vote is double the budget and go Beech.

Engine loss at night off the airport could make you be waving your ass off.

That is a risk with any single engined aircraft. Bonanzas aren't some miracle airplane that never has an engine fail.
