What's a good airplane?

Hello everyone, I might have an opportunity and I need advice. What's kind of airplane can carry 6 pax and say 500-700lbs of stuff that's relatively inexpensive ($80K-130K). I would like the C310 because of my experience with them but I don't know much about other airplanes. Thanks for any help.

carry six passengers and bags for 70-130K??

I would say a used Winnebago might be the trick!

I think even used 172's go for 70K now...

You might be able to find an old Navajo. It could easily hold 6 and 600LBS. Finding room in any plane to put 600LBS of stuff is a different story though.

A Baron 58 will hold 5 pax + 1 pilot and has a useful load of about 1500 lbs. Now about that price range, well I don't know. Try www.controller.com or www.aso.com for the latest competeive prices. Good luck.

Yeah, I would say a C-130 would definitely do it.

Plus you can carry more than 700 lbs of stuff.

But It'll cost you more than $130K.

You can do this in a Aztec, but you can't go very far with 6 people & 600lbs. You can still buy an Aztec in that price range. It's cabin is larger than a Barron 58 or C-310, but it's a little slower.
I have owned 2 a C & E model and got 165 to 170 KTAS at appr. 30 GPH.
