I suggest you join this type club: www.cessna.org .

You will find a wealth of information from those who own and operate this type of aircraft. You will find seasoned owners who are happy to share their thoughts and experiences. This site is not owned by Cessna, it is owned by a Cessna owner that used to work for Cessna. He charges a very reasonable annual registration fee that, in my opinion pays for itself by saving you time and money thoughtout the ownership process.

If you decide to go with a 400 series Cessna, try and find a fairly late model, at least one with the trailing link landing gear. It will make you look better on landing instead of trying to land a stove.
