Could there be demand for the 150's driving up price due to it being
allowed under the Sport Pilot rules?


That might be the case if the 150 was legal under the SP rules.
Unfortunatly it isn't.

Is the 152 or was there people trying to make the case for it to be
allowed?

Nope the 152 isn't either. It weighs more than the 150. Yes, there was a
push before the rules went into effect to push the MGW up to a point where
the 150/152 would be covered. The 150 MGW is ~1600 lbs. so the allowable
weight would have to be increased as close to 300 or maybe a little more.

Looking back it wouldn't surprise me that Cessna didn't have something to do
with the 150 NOT being allowed.
