Buying your own Aircraft?

I am just in the process of revalidating my JAA PPL, and have really got the flying bug back again ..

I do have a couple of cars I would be willing to sell, which could release upto 30k to buy an aircraft. I would be able to spend the running costs of the cars on an aircraft instead, so insurance/ hangarage shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Ideally a tidy Cessna 172 would be what I want, but a nice C-150 looks a good prospect, or maybe even a warrior. From what I have found on the net', there are a number of examples available for well under 30k, and I could probably stretch budget a bit to look at examples up to 40k?

When does buying your own aircraft become worthwhile? How much hassle is it converting an N reg aircraft to the G reg ?
