Piper PA28-R 180 Arrow
NOW INCLUDES GST! (EX GST Price: $81,700)
When Piper decided to compete in the four-seat retractable market, the intention was to take customers from Mooney, who at the time, had the lions share. The base price in 1967 - was USD$16,900; inexpensive in comparison. The aircraft offered more space inside and a 'foolproof' electromechanical gear, which insurers loved; a perfect stepping-stone from their fixed gear / pitch PA-28 models.
This example offers plenty to run on the engine, new front windscreens, new cable kit, cover - and more than 9 months to run on the annual; the perfect business commuter, family 'wagon', or an advanced hour builder for the newly licensed PPL.
