And how much does a 4 seater plane run these day's?

I don't think there are any 4-seat LSA planes.
Regarding prices (if you consider a 172 to be a 4 seater) yes you can get a good, older model one between $30k and $40k.
In general, I advise that you stick with the1968 or newer 4-cylinder Lycoming powered 172-i thru 172-m and not consider the older 6 cylinder Conti powered ones. This is personal preference, though, based on the costs of overhauls and the TBO times. Also, stay away from any N model unless the engine has been changed or is very low time. The O-320-H2AD was known for having problems, and is usually more expensive to overhaul.
