Ha! It must be something in the air, Doug. I'm not thinking about buying a plane, but my younger brother had to do some construction work at a small airport, and was telling me about the planes he saw. I got off the phone with him, and next thing I know I'm surfing around the web, seeing what a 152 rents for now-a-days.
I havne't flown in about 3 years, but the itch to get started again seems to crop up every now and again.
Anyway, to answer your question: $8000 sounds awful cheap for a 172. 1500 hours since major--I never was an expert in the maintenace of those, how much time between major overhauls?
Might not be a bad deal. Course, as the economy continues to go bad, I think you're going to see more and more people selling their toys.
Couldn't hurt to find an A&P to give it a once-over. He could probably give you an idea on what it would take to get it flightworthy.
Could be fun. Of course, its also fun to pick up the keys at the FBO, fly it, return the keys, pay your bill, and let someone else worry about insurance/maintenance/annuals/etc.
