Biggest thing for you is to like CC mentioned, find an older instructor and one that is not looking to get on with the airlines.

If you start out with a younger instructor, then chances are good that part way through the instruction they will leave for the airlines, then you start at square one with the instructor. Find someone who will stick with you for the entire time.

Also my minimums for something like this is to fly at least once a week, hopefully twice a week minimum. That way as CC said you do not waste your time and $$ re-learning what you have forgotten.

I would find a C-172 or the like, a four seater as they are more stable, have a bit more power and are not thrashed like most two seat Cessna C-150/152's are. No idea how much they are going for these days.

Also would try to find a smaller airport to fly out of in your area. You do not want to waste money waiting at the "hold short" line while the 11th airline in line lands. You waste money and learn nothing while doing this. If you really want to learn, find someone teaching in a taildragger type airplane. If you can land one of these, you can land anything!
