Well , then how come the same manufacturing job in the USA gets transported to Mexico and pays a fraction of what did here ? <| sep |> In studies , women rate about 80 % of men as below average , so in a way , you ' re even uglier . <| sep |> I ' ve flown and am seriously leaning towards a Socata TB 20 . Those are a bit higher than your price point , but the TB 9 s are easy to come by for 4060 k . The useful load is a bit under your reqs though , around 825 lbs . Very good on gas about 7 . 5 gph at ecocruise roomy interiors that make 172 s seem claustrophobic , and well built . They are out of production , but the owners club is well developed Socata still has ample parts . Worth a look at , especially if you ' re going for something that is reliable , and not a dimeadozen .
