Thinking of buying a PA38

Here is what is in my thought process, well known aircraft, good trainer and time builder, operating costs not too steep.

Purchase price doesn't seem to bad but I know it varies though I really don't have a massive budget (20-30K region), I would like to keep the aircraft either me owning individually or as a small group and eventually move on to upgrading paint/interior/avionics in time.

I looked at the rates of hiring this type from a school, quite high for what it is so after my initial buy in and running costs given I am looking to do a good few hours in it I think I can make it be cost effective.

Anybody else done this or any advice would be welcome.
