Not to be a negative Nancy, but if the 3 F's apply.....rent. Everytime i think about buying another airplane, the common sense side of me just kicks in. The price of avgas is just making it prohibitive. Hangaring, Gas, Annuals, other MX, Insurance, etc. Death by a thousand cuts.
Make sure you're going to fly your plane A LOT to really balance those things. If you're going to get the time out of the airplane that you want (in the midwest, where I'm from) you're going to need your IFR rating, and the plane will need to be equipped as well. Figure this into your cost. Here in the desert, I can count the number of IMC days we've had since last year on one hand. Back home...not so much.
