If you bought a C-152, it would probably cost north of $50K in hourly costs to do 1200 hours. A homebuilt which can burn avgas would be a cheaper proposition. You'd still need to pay for annuals and Mx since you didn't build it (minus the stuff you're legally allowed to do yourself like oil change, brakes, etc).
I was looking at buying a Sonex or C150 for some time building. Someone was selling a Sonex for 30k with low time and it was his 7th build. Although it would only be supplemental hours, so if I was having a slow month CFIing or something.
