Haven't had the chance to drive a Turb yet but Nick Bloom at PILOT tells me it is a fun machine and a good aircraft for someone who wants to fly for the joy of flying. Actual operating costs are going to be cheap for this sort of a/c but sadly hangarage or parking costs don't take inot account the price of the aircraft so expect to pay the same as for any light single. One option though is to try and find a friendly small grass strip (AKA a farm strip). You don't need many facilities and this sort of location is great for an a/c like this.

In this case the price really indicates cheap flying rather than nasty aircraft.

Low hours with limited taildragger experience will count against you for insurance but if you go for third party only you should get something within the budget you suggest. Given that this is a fixed cost why not try and find one other to share with? all fixed costs then magically halved.
