Remember that the price of a new plane will take a big hit the first
year (just like a new car). If you're considering owning the aircraft
for 20 years then you should look at a good 1 or 2 year old pre owned
model.

The spread between old and new aircraft prices is such that $200k means
you can have just about any used airplane you want and pretty much no new
airplane that will fit your mission.

You're on the right track -- you've defined your mission and budget. Now
you just need to work on flying various types to see what you like.
