I was going to ask as well.
Plus, is the 530 waas already?
And is the GTS a GTX 330? I couldn't find info on a GTS model. (trying to find the costs of upgrading to ES for ADSB.

Beautiful plane!

Performance is similar to a 182. Around 140kts and ~13gph. Yes...Garmin transponders=GTX
 
Sorry to hear you have decided to sell your plane.
Beautiful example.
The Dakota was the last of the four Piper singles I have owned. I enjoyed owning and flying each of them, each had its advantages and quirks. But hands down I thought the Dakota was the best of all of them - decent useful load, economy of a fixed gear with the climb capability of a constant speed, short/soft/grass...did it all.
 
Is the Dakota wider than the Archer in the same way a 182 is wider than a 172, or the same airframe with a bigger engine?

It's the same cabin as the Archer.

To the OP - gorgeous airplane. Good luck on the sale!

Thanks for all the compliments. She is a great plane. I'm sorry to have to sell her.
