Description

For pilots who value utility and real-world performance, this Saratoga SP delivers. With its 300-HP Lycoming IO-540 (801 SMOH), Hartzell three-blade prop, and 5,303-hour airframe, N8186D offers strong, predictable power, a generous useful load, and 102 gallons usable fuel for those across-the-country missions. The airplane’s versatility makes it equally at home hauling family, colleagues, or cargo—one of aviation’s best blends of payload, range, and comfort. The WAAS-enabled Garmin GNS 530W, ADS-B Out GTX 330 transponder, and JPI EDM 701 engine monitor round out a pilot-friendly, capable panel ready to travel anywhere. At closing, you’ll receive a $5,000 allowance toward cosmetic enhancements—paint, interior, or your own custom touches. Always hangared and just out of its August 2025 annual, N8186D represents true Saratoga value: power, space, and reliability that make every flight purposeful.

About the Piper Saratoga

The Piper Saratoga (PA-32) is the six-seat, club-seating member of the Cherokee family — a stretched single built to haul families and light business loads in comfort. The line runs from the fixed-gear Cherokee Six through the retractable Lance to the Saratoga, Saratoga SP and the modern Saratoga II HP and II TC, available normally aspirated or turbocharged on the proven Lycoming IO-540.

Produced 1980–2009. Total produced: 2,200.
