The piper Navajo is a great aircraft!
Only after better a better understanding of your flight mission can I tell what model to buy.
Of most importance is to have a pre-purchase inspection done by an authorized Piper Dealer before you purchase.

Why are the tips of some airplane props intentionally bent 90 degrees?

I was in ABE(Allentown, PA) last week. While there, I saw a Piper Navaho with the prop blades bent 90 degrees about 4" back. I'm guessing it has to do with preventing the tips from exceeding the speed of sound.

They are called "Q-tip" props.

Prop manufacturer Hartzell says there are two advantages:

One is that the propellers' normal diameters are reduced by one inch. This keeps dirt and small stones farther from the blade tips, and keeps tip erosion during ground operations to a minimum.

Two is noise reduction. The curl of the Q-tip acts much like a winglet, smoothing out the vortices — and therefore the noise — caused by low-pressure air moving to high as the propeller tips reach the supersonic speeds of high power settings.
