Well....
... I was working on something that's not really for me. I'm not a high-roller. If you've heard of any in reasonable condition under $100K (that are in the US) please let me know. There certainly have been a lot of fire-sales going on right now.
Yeah the engines have a TBO of 1000hrs, T/O fuel flow usually results in around 330gph - so it can be kinda pricey. It seems like a lot of people that get them are in the 'more money than brains' club... guess it's sorta like the 'doctor killer' Baron/Bonanzas
