Splash,
I know little about purchasing an aircraft but I think it's great that you're considering this as an option. I didn't have the foresight to consider this when I began my training, so props to you (pun intended).
Yeah this probably isn't the best plane (at least at the price they're asking considering the engine, unless it has some other things to offer like sweet avionics), but maybe you'll find one.
Try to ignore some of the negativity on here and best of luck in finding a plane and also with your training!
