About the Piper Cherokee Six
The Piper Cherokee Six (PA-32-260 and PA-32-300) is the fixed-gear, six-and-seven-seat hauler that launched the PA-32 family — a simple, rugged Cherokee stretch with a big cabin and a separate front-and-rear double door arrangement that swallows people and cargo. Powered by the 260 hp or 300 hp Lycoming, it is prized for its load-carrying ability and low maintenance compared with its retractable Lance and Saratoga siblings.

Piper Cherokee Six Price & Cost
Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.
Piper Cherokee Six Value by Model Year

Buying a Used Piper Cherokee Six
Every Piper Cherokee Six 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 $32,000 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.
