I smiled inside when I saw that headline. Oh yes, please buy a used plane. One that has problems that have never been revealed. That pesky problem when the landing gear won’t come down unless you jiggle the switch just right. Or one in which the engine has a tendency to cut out at 20k feet and it’s hard to restart it. Please buy a used plane and use it a lot.
