Larry,

gratz on selling your older plane. why did you sell it?

Yes, I own a plane, and ownership has changed some of my thoughts as well.
Getting maintenance paid for under warranty made me think that an extended
waranty would be a good idea. I never buy extended warranties on anything,
but a plane purchase changed my outlook.

That's ridiculous and shows how little you have learned to date. A
warranty on a new plane won't save you any money as nothing breaks in
the first few years and the warranty cost is figured into the cost of
the plane. I have a 67 182 and would consider selling it for an older
182 or a 206. Older 182's have more performance than newer ones and of
course a 206 can't be beat.
