EXTERIOR

Airframe: Rated 9/10 ("Extra Fine") "Exterior surfaces are almost flawless and would meet the #10 criteria except for 1 or 2 minor exceptions. The aircraft has had no skin or structural repairs and no damage history. Aircraft total time for year, make and model is very low."

Paint: Rated 9/10 ("Extra Fine") "The paint is in "as new" condition with no noticeable defects beyond some very minor paint chipping around the aft cowl edge."

• Upper fuselage: Eggshell White.
• Lower fuselage and wingtips: Purple metallic. Stripes & N-number: Yellow.
• Aircraft stored outside but covered with canopy cover...we challenge anyone to tell the difference between this aircraft and one which has been hangared its whole life. (Fog and low clouds often cover the airport for part of the day; it's a mild, seaside climate.) 
• While it's rated "9," the only reason we couldn't call it a "10" is because it is not New, which is a requirement for a "10".

Windows: Rated 9/10. "No crazing or cracks are evident and they appear to be new or nearly new."

INTERIOR

Rated 9/10 ("Extra Fine") "All aspects of the interior are in 'as new' condition with only slight soiling on the rear seat carpets and some scuffing on the rear bulkhead from tow bar storage--all easily cleaned."

• Beige, tweed fabric-covered sidewalls.
• Beige, powder-coated instrument panel.
• Tan carpet.
• Black seat belts with sheepskin pads on the front shoulder harness straps.

BROKER DISCUSSION

N152YH has a fresh annual and all 4 cylinders were just overhauled because of suspected corrosion on the cylinder walls.

After only one owner, this aircraft is perfect and practically new in all respects. It has 70% less time than the fleet average for its age. With a fresh annual, fresh transponder and pitot static inspections, it is absolutely "fly away" ready and will provide many years of trouble-free service for its new owner. 

This aircraft is priced right for its age, condition and equipment: it can be purchased for below its book value, no matter which valuation guide you're consulting (Vref, Bluebook or NAAA).

N152YH is equipped with air conditioning and a flight director/HSI. According to the Aircraft Bluebook, the air conditioning adds $8,750 to the value of the 2000 Archer III, and the flight director/HSI combo adds another $16,845. When comparing N152YH to other aircraft to ascertain value, make sure they are similarly equipped or have been revalued accordingly.  

According to Piper's web site, a 2006 Archer equipped like N152YH sells for approximately $325,000...that's 78% more than N152YH! Yet the capabilities and speed of both aircraft are exactly the same. Since N152YH is "good as new," we think you'd be crazy to pay 78% more! Not only that, but this aircraft is priced below all book values!
