The old stuff is pretty reasonable to buy and operate as long as you carefully not get one with a list of AD problems
I have friends with a few different planes, and non are costing that amount!
Yankee, Cessna, Aronica, Taylor, piper, all pretty reasonable.
Helicopters quite another story...........

There are a lot of flying clubs and fractional ownership as well. For a $500 entry fee to the club here I can fly for $60-$80 per hour, depending on the plane. The other choice is a rental at $120 per hour. Still cheaper than owning outright for most planes.
That said, had I enough money I would get a Cherokee 6/300 so I could fly a family of four plus a bunch of luggage around the country.
