I have a couple broad questions to start with. I am looking to buy, but I am getting confused about the current price ranges. I see them ranging from 15 to 30 k with great variations. Examples are the 3221v recently listed and another at 14k, someplace like Indy aero. I get total time and engine times, paint interiors, etc.

Maybe I should preface my search, I am thinking VFR only, not IFR.

I am currently flying a 150 with the 0-320 upgrade. I am wondering how much difference a 0-200 would be. Note that I also fly out of Denver co, so 1000 ft AGL is 6500. Should I really look for a 0-320 plane.

What about the tail draggers? I kinda want one, but not sure how much I really should look. I figure unlikely to convert one after the fact, so I figure if I want one, I need to buy converted. I saw one that has been in 3 incidents, another ran into a dump truck, should I be scared of these?

Thanks
