Looking for starter plane

expanding the question a bit...i'm also shopping and have some good
ideas what i want but don't really have the cash to buy AND fly. seems
like one or the other at the moment but:

i seem to see light ga aircraft, just above the sport class, going up
in price at a fairly strong rate.

any guesses on what's really happening with that market???

There was a dip over the past couple years due to the economy. Now that the
world did not end, the market is recovering, (or it could just be a small
upside in an overall trend?). The 150's and 152's are still a bit
depressed. If you want one, I can tell you where to find them. I know of
many for sale not advertised (flight schools are mostly switching to 172's
for primary trainers because more and more students are just too big for the
150's). Not bad planes if you are willing to do a little of your own
maintenance and fly them right.
