Seller reportedDescription
Great Condition Piper Cherokee 160 for sale. Highly sought after Lycoming 0-320 engine overhauled in 2017 with enough time left for a couple decades of recreational flying or to complete your time building journey. The biggest concern any general aviation pilot has when buying a plane is how long has it been sitting for and how may problems will pop up in the first 50-100 hours of flying. You won't have to worry about that with this plane as I've flown it over 600hrs in the last year. It has a new exhaust system, new alternator, battery, starter, tires, brakes and many others that I've replaced so you don't have to. Annual is due APR 30 2026 and I will pay the flat rate for labor. There is a mechanic on the field who has not done any inspections for the plane and is willing to complete the annual as the prebuy inspection. This is a great airplane and a great deal so book a time to come see it fast or else it'll be gone. Lycoming 0320D2A SN: L6254-309A Major Overhaul done by Aero Center Mandan, ND.
