Jim,
I bought a Beech Sundowner for 38K, and overhauled the engine for 13.5K.
Not exactly in your price range, but something to consider. I don't think
there are any other "older" low wings outside a Beech that have two doors.
Sundowner is designed for creature comfort, not speed. I plan 110 knots on
my cross countrys. I have am based in MBO (Madison, MS), and flew as far
as Daytona Beach, and Myrtle Beach with no problems.
The plane outflies my bladder :-), so I don't have to worry about VFR or
IFR fuel reserves.
