Look at older aircraft that aren't quite as expensive to purchase as
"newer" aircraft.  If you limit yourself to a 30 year old aircraft, you 
are going to pass on older cherokee 140 and cherokee 160 aircraft.
These can have the useful load to carry 3 and you don't have to
spend $80,000 to buy one.  They also are more likely to be able
to run autogas.
