How this stacks up

• Price reduced $2,625

  Down 4% from the original $64,625 — a seller motivation signal

• Annual may be overdue

  The listing states the annual was due Jul 2025 — confirm the aircraft has a current annual before you commit

• 2/5 key specs

  Key information is missing — ask the seller about hours, engine time, and registration

This summary draws on signals shown in detail below — price comps, listing age, maintenance and engine status, and key specs. Read each section for full context. Not an appraisal.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 99 hrs total time across ~23 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

Low-time for its age

This airframe has averaged about 4 hrs/year over ~23 years — light use for a personal aircraft. Fewer hours can mean lighter wear, but aircraft that sit also risk dried seals, corrosion, and stale fuel-system components. Ask how regularly it's flown and what the recent annual inspections found.

Annual inspection

Required every 12 calendar months. Read off the listing's stated annual-due date — confirm against the logbooks.

Annual inspection may be overdue

The listing states the annual was due Jul 2025, about 13 months ago — confirm the aircraft has a current annual, and budget ~$2,500 if it still needs one.

Cost to own

Rule-of-thumb estimates — insurance ≈ 1% of price, hangar $7,500/yr, annual inspection $2,500/yr, fuel + oil at your selected hrs/yr. Your actual costs will vary.

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $7,620 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Buy-in is the asking price split evenly across partners — what you'd each pay to acquire the aircraft (the real figure is negotiated). Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, inspection) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
