I'm looking to ferry a Piper Archer from Chino Airport in Chino, CA to Sky Acres Airport in Lagrangeville, NY. If you are experienced in ferrying this distance, please PM me your contact information and total cost to me to do this. Thanks!

Yes. And before anyone goes off on a rant about TTAF hours, it's my preference. Please respect that.

Yes, I know about this plane. Not what I'm looking for, though. Thanks.

Have 2 prospects I'm looking at.

Just tested the form out. Not bad. Just needs a little polishing, as mentioned above.

Not finding an Arrow III that I like, with what I want in the way of avionics.

I'm starting a new thread, since my previous one got all bogged down with off-topic banter. Please do not post comments unless you have a plane for sale or know of someone that does, that meets my requirements below. Thank you for understanding. I'm looking to buy a 1977 or newer Piper Archer...

Just did some research and see the Arrow III (1977-1978) got the tapered wing. I won't consider the T-tail due to squirly slow speed handling. I don't have my high performance or complex rating, so that's a hindrance.

I totally agree with dealing with the TBO engine. I actually prefer that. The price for the plane should be substantially lower and would for me to actually put in a Penn Yan rebuilt. As for the Archer III mentioned above, that is very overpriced. I would consider an Arrow, but from what I...

Thanks, but that's more than I want to spend. Also, engine is coming up on TBO. Add another $25k on top.

I've been monitoring Trade-a-plane, controller, barnstormer, and ASO multiple times a day, for a few months now. Nothing interesting yet. Either TTAF hours are too high, or too much $$$ for what they are selling.

Love the Dakota, but more than I need. Archer fits my needs perfectly.

I replaced it 7 times in my plane. Not happy about it. Otherwise it was nice when it didnt give me troubles. Pm me for off topic items. I'd like to keep this thread for my search for an Archer.

Airframe hours are extremely high. Over 12,000 hours. I want mid-3000 or less.

12k TTAF hours. Pass...

Which one? Not seeing it.

Thanks, but I hate raffles. I'd rather put my money towards buying a plane rather than a raffle and hope I win( which never happens.)

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of high hour planes with the original avionics and the seller wants an arm and a leg. I'm in no hurry. They can sit on their plane.

I bought the plane loaded with the avionics you see. Not the latest, but nice and still very effective. As for putting in avionics, you need to determine how long you plan on keeping the plane. Then you need to determine if it's worth it to you to have it. Don't expect to recoup your costs if...

I'm patient. I also have cash, so that's a good bargaining point. Most people have to go to a bank and deal with the BS.
