Today’s Top Pick is a 2006 Cirrus SR22 G2.

For a long time, many private pilots had Beechcraft Bonanzas at the top of their wish lists because they considered it the most desirable high-performance four-place model available. Chance came to the market in the early 2000 as a new competitor, the Cirrus SR22, began to make inroads.

Today, the SR22 is well established atop the GA pyramid as the category’s top seller. New examples continue to roll out and the fleet of used SRs has grown to the point where it offers shoppers a wide range of prices, including relative bargains.

The aircraft for sale today is an example of the appealing SR22s available. This one stands out, however, in part because of its custom, contemporary paint scheme and interior, which give it the overall appearance of a later-generation model. In addition to a price point more in line with other fast four-seaters, this Cirrus offers buyers the opportunity to acquire, train in and fly their new aircraft right away instead of getting on a waiting list for a new model.  

This 2006 Cirrus SR22 has 1,220 hours on the airframe, its 310 hp Continental IO-550-N Platinum Series engine and its Hartzell three-blade aluminum propeller. The aircraft is equipped with factory air conditioning, AmSafe seat airbags, Rosen sun visors and LED lighting. M

The custom, carbon-fiber panel features Avidyne Entegra EX5000 PFD and MFD, L3 Skywatch traffic, L3 Stormscope lightning detection, SiriusXM audio and datalink weather, Honeywell KGP-560 terrain awareness system, engine and fuel monitoring, Garmin GMA 345 audio panel, GNS 430W and GNS 430 GPS/nav/coms, GTX 327 transponder, GDL 82 ADS-B Out transceiver, and Avidyne DFC90 autopilot.
