Description

Very nice Piper Cherokee 180 featuring the desirable AVCON Lycoming O-360 180HP, 160 w/ 180 AVCON conversion and Hartzell constant-speed propeller, delivering strong climb performance and efficient cruise. This aircraft has been owned by the same careful owner for the past 11 years, always hangared, and based at Burlington-Alamance Regional Airport (KBUY).

I have a current pre-buy inspection that I will share with serious buyers. It was done by an independent mechanic who has never worked on the airplane in the past. Call for information.

The Cherokee 180 with the Lycoming O-360 and constant-speed prop is a very capable airplane and buyers like seeing the performance numbers in the ad. These are the realistic operating specs most buyers recognize for this platform.

Excellent finance options are available on this and most other aircraft. Rates as in the 6%s and extended terms (oac). Lease-to-own options may be available, depending upon situation. We assist with financing even if you are buying elsewhere, visit:
