Give them a try and see which one you like...

No problem, I'm just looking now as I am trying to get an idea on what the cost are. I don't think the prices on used planes are going to be much different 6 months from now, and there seem to be plenty for sale.

I basically no nothing now so I'm just trying to get a feel for whats out there.

I'll be training in a 172, but there is also a cherokee 180 there that I can rent when I'm farther along. Then when I make up my mind what I want I can step up the search.

Are there any other brands or models I should be looking at? I can probably up my budget to $45,000 to $50,000. But I would hope if I spend that much that I wouldn't have any big expenses in the near future. I would like something that I could put 4 people in from time to time and go 150-200 miles with little to no luggage. Most of the time it would be for just my wife and I.
