Piper J-4 Cub Coupe 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.

About the Piper J-4 Cub Coupe
The Piper J-4 Cub Coupe is a late-1930s two-seat classic that differs from the J-3 by seating its occupants side-by-side rather than in tandem, with a fuller, more enclosed cabin. Built from 1938 to 1942, it offered a more comfortable, "coupe-like" cabin while keeping the simple Cub-family construction. Surviving J-4s are sought-after prewar collector aircraft.
