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.

Engine Life

Based on 389 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 1,500 hr TBO for the Continental O-470.

1,111 hrsto TBO

74% of TBO remaining

≈ 11 years to overhaul at its historical pace

1,111hrs left ÷ this aircraft's ~102 hrs/yr average. A rough projection — your own flying rate will change the timeline.

Engine reserve budget~$1,467/yr · ~$15/hr

Estimated overhaul cost ($22,000) spread over 1,500 hr TBO at 100 hrs/yr — a rule of thumb, not a quote.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 7,050 hrs total time across ~69 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈102 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 102 hrs/year over ~69 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.

Damage history

Reported in the listing — confirm against the airframe and engine logbooks.

No damage history reportedNone reported

This listing reports no prior damage. That is a positive sign, but the flag reflects the seller’s description, not the logbooks — confirm it during a pre-buy. Undocumented or unrepaired damage is a classic red flag, so have an independent inspector review the airframe and engine records before you commit.

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. Engine reserve from the panel above is folded into the split. Your actual costs will vary.

As a sole owner

$2,076/mo$24,917/yr

≈ $249 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$145,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,917 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$145,000	$2,076/mo	$24,917/yr
1/2 share	$72,500	$1,538/mo	$18,459/yr
1/3 share	$48,333	$1,359/mo	$16,306/yr
1/4 share	$36,250	$1,269/mo	$15,229/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, engine reserve) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
