Decent looking Cherokee 140

[poadeleted3]

Window shopping again, of course. Nice relaxing lunchtime hobby. Though I very much hope I can find a plane like this at a price like this in a couple years.... it's very much the kind of thing I'll be looking for for real finally.

Not sure if I'm in love with the paint job or not, but I could live with it. My kid would like it, I figure.

Joe, you know what I'm going to say, so why bother typing it.

LOL Yeah, yeah, but a Cherokee 140 meets my needs about as well as a Traveller/Cheetah does, and when the time does come I'll be looking at getting the best plane in the price range as I can, not so much the kind of plane. Though, there is a Cheetah for $44K right here in PA that I've posted before that I'd be taking a real hard look at if I were in the market right now.

According to the NTSB database, in 1979 N15517 was "ground looped/swerved" into a snow bank, suffering substantial damage.

Now, maybe I'm a little to optimistic, but I wouldn't necessarily let that deter me from purchasing an airplane like this, assuming a pre-buy annual, a good review of the logs, and a test flight didn't show up any problems. 27 years is an awfully long time ago.

What say ya'll?

If a prebuy inspection showed all clear, and the logs show the repairs, I wouldn't see why not.

And it'd be an honor to welcome you to the Cherokee club too, Joe

27 years and no problems, plus good annual inspection and maybe an extra close inspection of the repair. No problem. This just happend a few months ago take a pass. Let someone else be the test pilot for a while.
