About the Piper Arrow
The Piper Arrow (PA-28R, also called the Cherokee Arrow) is the retractable-gear, 200-hp member of the PA-28 family. It is the classic complex trainer for the commercial certificate, adding constant-speed prop and retractable gear to the familiar Cherokee handling. Variants include the Arrow II, the longer-body Arrow III, the T-tail Arrow IV, and the Turbo Arrow III/IV with a turbocharged 200-hp engine for better high-altitude cruise. Typical cruise is around 137 knots, faster than any fixed-gear Cherokee.

Buying a Used Piper Arrow
Every Piper Arrow faces a mandatory 2,000-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $30,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 2,000-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
- Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
