| Main trade-off | The M20S Eagle combines 4-seat piston-aircraft utility with about 721 NM reported range and about 169 kt reported cruise, while payload, runway and operating-cost figures remain indicative and should be verified for the specific aircraft before making a decision. | Early CAPS-equipped value is attractive, but avionics, composite repairs, CAPS and engine history can outweigh year. | Strong performance and CAPS at an accessible used price, but early avionics, engine and parachute calendar dominate value. |
