I paid right at 20k for it. It cost me $54/hr to fly it including every single thing I did to it (some upgrades, basic maintenance, fuel, FBO fees, profit when sold and so on). Sold it for a few k more than what I paid for it. Market is different today though but a well looked after 150 will not depreciate over 500-700 hours. Owning your own plane means you KNOW you will fly 100 hours a month if you want.
If you jump in head first, you can do zero to a flying job in 6 months, and zero to ATP in a year.
