Welcome Brian. I spent the better part of a year looking for a 150 to purchase. I joined the club about halfway through the process. It was a good move. The accumulated wisdom and experience found among the members here and the clubs type related resources are without peer and are invaluable in helping with your search.
I eventually purchased my plane from another club member, a very good decision. My 2000 mile cross country to bring the plane to it's new home was a great adventure.
Like Carl said, resist the urge to rush into a buy. Avail yourself of the wisdom and insights found here and you will do fine.
