almost pulled the trigger

I fell sleep Early Thanksgiving evening (can we say tryptophan?), and so awoke about 2:30AM, saw this on Barnstormers; Piper 1955/56 PA-22-150 2685TT 1375SMOH VAL 760 com Transponder and Intercom Auto Fuel STC Very Clean, Located in Battle Ground, WA $13,000 firm • By noon I had called the guy, talked to a Tri-Pacer owner I know from S50, and been approved at the bank for a signature line of credit to cover it.The $'s at 90-100hrs per yr SEEMs to be a push. but No, I just am not ready, I am not sure about an older rag wing and storing it outside. But the Tri-pacer does fill my mission needs by just barely being a 3 person aircraft, yet still able to use smaller & grass airports. Looks like a sweet plane, very basic (all I need), but nice looking. Anyone in the market for a tri-pacer? I am going to save up and look for metal wings, like a 172. I like the Piper, as much for the 180 as it's a piper, but my wife cannot enter the cockpit without serious gyrations. I think I do want to own my own, but my current plan is by age 60(at 60) & I'm almost 56. The club will allow me to continue to get training, and to fly different planes. With a mere 200+ hours I am still finding what works for me. Ideally a 180 hp 172, but the $ means a 150 hp w/1000+/-SMOH, is more my price. Edit: TriPacer is sold 12/4, one week, It was a good deal, someone snatched it up.
