As far as you question goes...
May not be practical for your fbo or situation( unknown to me)
But you could find someone to fly with for free, I wasn't counting on it. but i got lucky and now have some 40 to 60 hrs of c210 = which was high performance and complex, not only help me to get my ifr ticket but became a double whammy when the commercial reqs arrived.
Just a thought.

If you are doing your instrument part 61 you will need to have 50 hours of PIC cross country, so time-building may be a good idea if you can knock out requirements like that.
Also, if you are looking to save $$, investing in a copy of microsoft flight sim and a yoke for your computer can help you save lots on instructor and rentals if you can practice instrument procedures on the computer. I have had some students that did a lot of instrument practice at home and they have saved easily $500-1000 on plane rental + instructor fees compared to other students who did not.

Agree 100%
I probably could have saved my self 5-10 hours of instrument training with those two simple items. I still use MS flight simulator for scan practice, as well as for getting ready for a trip to an unknown airport.
