Today’s Top Pick is a 2000 Piper PA-32RT-301T Turbo Saratoga.

This Piper Turbo Saratoga represents an exceptional opportunity for pilots seeking a blend of high-performance capability and spacious, six-seat comfort. This aircraft is perfectly suited for long cross-country flights with family or for business travel, offering a stable IFR platform and impressive load-hauling capabilities.

The aircraft has been well maintained and consistently hangared, only flying 14 hours over the past six months. As a testament to the care put into it, this Piper still boasts the original paint scheme, with a condition score of 9/10. The sale includes the transferable 10-year warranty on the Victor Aviation Ultimate Black Edition engine that has only 98 hours since its factory overhaul in 2022

The avionics are a modern Garmin powerhouse tailored for IFR efficiency, headlined by dual GTN 750 GPS/nav/com units for redundant, touchscreen precision in flight planning and communications. The Garmin G500 TXi primary flight display with Synthetic Vision brings glass-cockpit clarity and terrain awareness, backed by a G5 standby attitude indicator and the GDU 1060 engine/airframe monitor for real-time performance data.

Safety and workload are enhanced by the GTX 345 ADS-B transponder, GMA audio panel, S-Tec 01326 digital autopilot, and thoughtful additions like the Microkit landing height system, MD 93 digital clock/USB charger, and flat card compass. 

A near-mint original interior earns a 9/10 score, featuring six seats with dual controls, air conditioning for comfort, and like-new upholstery and panels that feel timeless rather than dated.

Listed at $675,000, this 2000 Piper PA-32RT-301T Turbo Saratoga delivers turbocharged speed and roomy utility at a premium that’s justified by its low-time prop (118 hours) and turnkey appeal.
