Used Columbia/Cessna 300/400 Series

Whether it’s an early Lancair 350 (lead image) or late-model Cessna TTX, these speedy composite singles have no shortage of ramp appeal.

Of course buyers shopping the used high-performance, fixed-gear composite piston-single market will look hard at the Cirrus SR22. But also worth a look are the 300- and 400-series singles. 

While these niche aircraft have timeless modern styling and good cockpit ergonomics, even the latest model in the line, the Cessna TTx (there were four name changes over time), is now six years out of production. But no matter the vintage, owners like these go-places singles for speed, handling and high-altitude efficiency.
