About the Piper Cherokee 140
The Piper Cherokee 140 (PA-28-140) is the original two/four-seat entry-level Cherokee, built from 1964 and powered by a 140-150 hp Lycoming O-320 on the classic constant-chord "Hershey bar" wing. Many were sold as two-seat trainers and later equipped for four, cruising around 110 knots. As one of the cheapest certified four-seaters on the market, the Cherokee 140 remains a popular first aircraft and time-builder, and the PA-28-140 specs are among the most searched in the whole Cherokee line.

Buying a Used Piper Cherokee 140
Every Piper Cherokee 140 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 $28,000 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.
