Description
*Fresh Annual Inspection Completed August 2026* Very nice, well-maintained Cherokee 235 with exceptionally low time, modern IFR avionics, and extensive recent upgrades. This Cherokee 235 is an outstanding IFR cross-country aircraft featuring a modern glass panel, excellent short-field performance, approximately 135-knot cruise speed, and a strong useful load. The combination of low total time, low-time engine, complete logs, and recent avionics upgrades makes this one of the nicest Cherokee 235s available. Will take serious potential buyer on test flight!
