How this stacks up

1 to ask about

  • Listed 1 month ago

    On the market for a month or more — worth asking about negotiating room

  • 1/5 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.

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

$1,979/mo$23,750/yr

≈ $238 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$175,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,750 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$175,000$1,979/mo$23,750/yr
1/2 share$87,500$1,490/mo$17,875/yr
1/3 share$58,333$1,326/mo$15,917/yr
1/4 share$43,750$1,245/mo$14,938/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.
