Here are the needs:

An airplane that can seat at least 8 people with bags and fuel. It will primarily be used as an interstate hopper from various california cities from San Diego to San Francisco. The average segment will be 200nm. Cruise speed should be no less than 225 kts. The potential owner has businesses located throughout california and needs to be able to fly to any given location(s) in the same day. The reason for the 8 person requirement is for occasional trips with the family. The airplane does not have to be a jet. A turbine powered aircraft is preferred.

Thoughts that come to mind are:

Cessna Grand Caravan
Piper Meridian/malibu
King Air 90

Anyone have any inputs?

As far as costs are concerned, dry cost of the airplane should not exceed $10,000/month. Thats payment/insurance/mx reserve/etc. Fuel is obviously based on a/c usage.

Owner has a corporation and can use the aircraft as a business expense.
