The P337 only goes up to FL200. It burns 24gph LOP at 65% power there and will do 185KTAS at that power setting. It isn't a bad aircraft by any means, actually very easy to fly and very stable in IFR conditions, but it will not have the range of a Malibu. The inline thrust is a big plus, and why I bought one as well. No 337 is FIKI, and they lose quite a bit of speed with any ice buildup beyond a 1/4" or so. Just putting this out there so you don't buy one and find out it won't do what you want it to do, but if 1000nm is okay, and you find a good example, it is the least expensive pressurized twin you can own. I still miss mine.
