My question is probably not exactly answerable, but would a $15,000 150 in fair shape but high engine hours be a good direction to go?
For $15,000, you should be able to find a pretty nice 150 with only midtime hours that will give you many many hours of enjoyment. There are lots of Cessna 150's out there for sale.
Both of our airplanes came to us. The first one just by word of mouth that I was just interested. The second I placed an ad on Barnstormers describing exactly what I wanted and allowed the sellers to come to me. You may want to try that?
Be patient. You will see! If you allow it, your new airplane will find you!! Just be ready to jump when it does!
