You had better think about what type of flying you will do. When I bought my first plane, I had been renting 172s and the old guys at the FBO, as nice as they were, only knew 172s. There are alot of planes out there, and many people feel comfortable in something they train in, that is understandable. But I think a high wing single cessna is the worst cross country machine made in the last 40 years. Its great for training (spring steel gear, big doors, docile), but it isn't very fast or after a few hundred hours, not very fun. Look and some cherokee 180s and Grummans. I remember hearing that grummans on average were the best deal $/kts.
