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.

As a sole owner

$1,882/mo$22,587/yr

≈ $226 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$58,650 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $7,587 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$58,650	$1,882/mo	$22,587/yr
1/2 share	$29,325	$1,441/mo	$17,294/yr
1/3 share	$19,550	$1,294/mo	$15,529/yr
1/4 share	$14,663	$1,221/mo	$14,647/yr

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.
