Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Everything But Airplanes Back in the market for a 150/152, but have ?'s

I am hoping this is the right forum for these questions. My wife swayed me into looking at something different from a 150/152 but we have come back.

Defining our 'need' for an airplane, 85-90% of my flights will be just myself or my daughter and I. The times when I need three seats a friend whom owns a C172 is willing to trade keys with me for the weekend. So I believe a C150/152 will suit me well and keep the overall costs down at the same time.

Save the extra 10hp, higher TBO, and 4" wider cabins do the 152's offer much else?

Last question, with the current loan rates, it is cheaper for me to purchase something in the 25-30K (final loan price after 10% down) than it is to purchase <25K.

Is spending 28-33K (purchase price) to much for a good low time 150/152?

Being my first airplane I must admit I do feel a little lost and am trying to prevent a unpleasent experience.

Thanks in advance
