Commander 112 Aircraft under $100,000

Under $100k for a piston single is the value-entry price band — typically older airframes (1960s-80s), mid-life or run-out engines, original or basic avionics with retrofit ADS-B Out compliance. These are entry-budget trainers and touring singles. Budget realistically for engine work, ADS-B Out compliance if not yet installed, panel upgrades and corrosion-area inspection.

The Commander 112 is the four-seat retractable single that launched the line — a roomy, stable tourer powered by a 200–210 hp Lycoming IO-360, with the turbocharged 112TC for high/hot performance. Slightly smaller and lower-powered than the 114, it offers the same comfortable cabin and easygoing manners at a lower entry cost.
