Having said that, have a look at the Ercoupe or the Piper Warrior
140.

Or better yet, a rental. You could buy & feed a cow, but for most
of us it makes far more sense to buy milk.

While I agree with the rental if saving money is the key I also understand
that renting isn't always an option. So you might look at one of the new
S-LSA where you can do your own maintenance and become qualified to do your
own annual.

Another option that will reduce not only the cost of maintenance but also
the initial cost of ownership is going the homebuilt route.
