What it carries and how it performs
The Saratoga II TC has six seats and 107 gal of fuel (102 usable). Standard empty weight is 2,478 lb, and each baggage compartment takes 100 lb. Takeoff roll is 1,110 ft, or 1,810 ft over a 50-ft obstacle. Sea-level climb is 950 fpm, and max operating altitude is 20,000 ft. Max demonstrated crosswind is 17 kt.
Handling and avionics
AOPA describes it as stable, forgiving and docile, with benign stalls and good lateral stability, so it suits instrument flying. The controls are a tad heavy. In 2002 the standard panel had a Garmin GNS 530/430, an S-Tec System 55 autopilot, an HSI and a flight director. A Garmin GFC 500 autopilot supplement exists for PA-32(R) models.
What to check before buying
AD 2010-13-07 calls for replacing spot-welded exhaust clamps with riveted ones, and for checking that slip joints move freely. Confirm it has been done. Check the turbo and its automatic wastegate for smooth operation. Compare the equipment list with the airplane, since the owner must keep it current. Weigh the airplane, because published empty weights vary (2,465 to 2,478 lb).

Safety notes
- Apply the throttle smoothly. Pushing it hard to the firewall can overboost manifold pressure and damage internal engine parts.
- Non-Piper STC installations are not covered by the handbook. Inspect affected areas under the STC holder's program.
