What would you do? Buy a used plane for $50,000 used and have repair expense, or buy a new Cessna 162 for $115,000 and not have to budget for ongoing repairs older planes have?

By comparison, I count 13 used Cirrus 20 and 22 models on Barnstormers.com (all built on or after the year 2000) that have asking prices under $149,900. That is just one make; lots of other fine late make and model aircraft can be had for less than even $115,000.
