This is something to consider. It's very tempting to try and get a
fast airplane. But I think you're right, and also: how fast can you
get within our price range and still have a solid aircraft with few
squawks?

Mid-1960's vintage Mooneys can be an excellent value for a 130-knot
airplane -- perhaps cheaper than a 182.

Insuring a retractable like a Mooney will probably be a lot easier for you
after you get your IFR rating --- yet another reason to hold off on an
airplane purchase for now.
