Alarus for training?

What do we think of an Alarus CH2000 as a primary trainer and as a
weekend flyer? I've run into a possible opportunity to buy a used
CH2000 for possibly well under market value (at auction, so it really
depends on where the bidding goes). I also have a couple of guys who
might be interested in partnering on it (one a returning student, the
other a retired bizjet pilot).

I'm a zero-hour student, currently working through ground school.
I've been thinking about maybe buying a PA-28-140 next year to train
in and for general flying later, but if the Alarus is a decent plane
and I can get a deal on it...? Can anyone give me more reasons to
think yea or nay?

Great plane. I have a couple of hours in one.

Just make sure that it isn't this one.

It was recently reported stolen.
