1981 Piper Turbo Saratoga SP (1980 - 1987)Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1981 Piper Turbo Saratoga SP (N810KC) presents as a well-maintained example with significant avionics upgrades and low-time powerplant components. The airframe shows 4,520 total hours with no damage history, always hangared, and complete logbooks since new. The Lycoming TIO-540-S14D engine has only 125 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) against a 1,800-hour TBO, paired with an 80 SMOH Hartzell three-blade propeller and governor.

The aircraft stands out with its comprehensive "Garminized" panel featuring dual G5s, GNS 530W/430W WAAS GPS units, GFC500 autopilot with pitch-trim, and ADS-B Out compliance. Additional equipment includes a JPI EDM 800 engine analyzer, factory oxygen system, Precise Flight speed brakes, and USB power ports. Both exterior and interior were refreshed in 2000, with the exterior wearing a three-color Imron scheme and the beige leather interior featuring lambswool seat covers on the front seats. The seller emphasizes this as one of the most updated 1981 Turbo Saratoga SP models available.
