Beechcraft Bonanza 35 Aircraft under $500,000
Under $500k for a piston single is the high-end price band — typically modern composite singles (Cirrus SR22/SR22T from mid-2000s+), late-model Bonanza or Mooney with full glass, low-time airframes with current engine status and full mandate compliance. Highest acquisition cost in piston class but lowest pre-buy discovery risk.
The Beechcraft V-tail Bonanza (Model 35) is the iconic ruddervator-tailed Bonanza — produced 1947 to 1982 across letter variants A35 through V35B and V35TC, with around 10,000 built. Cruise around 175 knots on a Continental IO-470/520, four to five seats, and the unmistakable V-shape that defined the Bonanza brand. The V35B is widely considered the most refined V-tail. The V-tail carries specific tail-attachment and wing-spar airworthiness directives — well-known, well-understood when properly maintained — and the type's safety record is consistent with other high-performance singles when ADs are kept current.
