What have you seen in Archer values?
Two local pilots each recently purchased Archers for prices that I thought
were on the high side, then I checked other ads and recent purchases. I was
suprised to find the market that strong. I've always been a fan of the
Archer for it's all around utility and it's ability to hold it's value.
What suprises me the most is the number of older Archers listed and selling
for $75k and up.

And I've also watched Piper Archer and most 2 place (even non light
sport) airplane prices continue to climb. So I think planes that are
burning 10gph or less are increasing in value and those that burn 15 gph
and
more are decreasing, everything else being equal. Just an observation.


Fine! Be a bearer of bad news. Just poke me in the eye next time.
I've been eyeing Archers for a while now so that's clearly not good news.

I'm seeing Archers range from $70K - $90K depending on the year,
avionics...blah...blah... Over the last year, my gut seems to be saying
the price has gone up about $5k on average... To be clear, that's
strictly anecdotal and not grounded in fact. But I do agree *I think*
I've been observing and upward trend there.
