I'm partial to the PA28 tribe. The 140's suck for hot and high work but a warrior or a 180/Archer are great. I started on a Cherokee 180 then switched to a series of 172's then went back to the same Cherokee I started on years ago. I saw a mid timed warrior the other day with some pretty nice avionics for like 28k. If I were new to flying today and serious about it I would buy a warrior with about 800 SMOH and some newer avionics (KX-155's come to mind) and a current IFR cert, get my private and Instrument in it and put 300 or so hours on it then sell it for about what I bought it for. Of course you will be paying tie-down, insurance, maintenance, fuel, ect but 300 hours X $100/hr = 30k, and its your plane that everything is where you left it and you know it pretty well.
