1996 PIPER SARATOGA II HP
Description
1996 Piper Saratoga II HP (PA-32R-301) — N520MA
Only 930 hours since major overhaul · Modern Garmin glass panel · New interior (Oct 2025) · Always hangared
This Saratoga II HP has been owned by meticulous owners, kept in a hangar, and flown regularly. It has just 930 hours since major overhaul on both the Lycoming IO-540-K1G5 and the Hartzell 3-blade constant-speed prop, leaving more than 1,000 hours to the 2,000-hour TBO. It has no major damage history, oil analysis has been done at every 25-hour oil change, and GAMI injectors were installed in March 2025. The annual isn't due until 3/27 and the static check until 10/27.
A fully modern IFR panel. The October 2025 panel upgrade makes this one of the most capable Saratogas on the market:
Garmin GTN 750xi (new 10/25) and GTN 650 Nav/Com/GPS, both IFR
Dual Garmin GI-275 attitude indicator and HSI, plus a co-pilot standby GI-275
Garmin GFC 500 autopilot with new Garmin servos and a Smart Glide switch (10/25)
KT71 Transponder coupled to GDL 88 ADS-B In/Out, Flight Stream 210 (Bluetooth/AHRS) and GMA 35 remote audio panel
JPI 730 engine monitor with fuel flow and an Insight Strike Finder
An executive cabin that's ready to go. The all-new tan leather interior with dark brown accents (installed October 2025, rated 10/10) uses the executive club seating layout, with a writing desk and a refreshment center. Other comfort features:
Factory air conditioning with a new compressor (2025)
A new windshield and new door seals
USB-C power for passengers and a Starlink power outlet
A 6-place intercom with Lemo and standard headset jacks
Upgrades already done. All exterior lighting has been converted to AeroLEDs (10/25), including the positioning lights, dual rotating beacons, wingtip strobes and landing lights. It also has new tires and brakes (10/25), an oil pan heater, an N20 air/oil separator, an AirWolf remote-mount oil filter, stainless steel control cables and zinc chromate corrosion proofing.
Exterior: White over gunmetal with scarlet accent stripes, in good condition (7/10).
Useful load: 1,189 lbs, so you can take the whole family and their bags.
The expensive upgrades are already done on this very clean, well-documented high-performance six-seater. You can fly it home and start enjoying it right away.
