How much do you think I can save by buying an airplane rather than renting one?

Some flight schools can get you to CFI for under 50k. Just try to avoid the big "zero to hero" flight schools.
Buying a plane is like buying a boat. Expect to throw a LOT of money into that hole. I wouldn't advise it as a solution to getting training and hours.

Not if you buy one that just had an annual, is in good shape and current, and you complete your ratings before the next annual.

I've seen several little FBO flight schools offer these lower costs. Where do you live, I'll see if I can find one for you?
Yeah, because mx costs only pop up at annuals and you'll definitely be able to sell the aircraft before the next annual is due. =/
I'm just saying, you seem to be selling a pipe dream. I don't see aircraft ownership as a cheaper option to get your training done.

Seattle is generally expensive. Rainier might give you the best value.
Snohomish can get you zero to Commercial & CFI for 53k.

This took all of 5 minutes of googling. =)
