Percy explains it perfectly. I have had to spend some time and money on the 415C I bought 5 months ago, so yes, it is a kind of on going "project". However, in that time I have logged more than 25 hours of dual time, and more than 10 hours solo, and I am planning to do my sport pilot check ride by mid January. A brand new sport plane costs like a minumum of $ 70,000 (which I can't afford), so I am still well ahead and have no regrets whatsoever.
