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 579 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 2,000 hr TBO for the Lycoming IO-360.

1,421 hrsto TBO

71% of TBO remaining

≈ 31 years to overhaul at its historical pace

1,421hrs left ÷ this aircraft's ~46 hrs/yr average. A rough projection — your own flying rate will change the timeline.

Engine reserve budget~$1,300/yr · ~$13/hr

Estimated overhaul cost ($26,000) spread over 2,000 hr TBO at 100 hrs/yr — a rule of thumb, not a quote.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 2,135 hrs total time across ~46 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈46 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 46 hrs/year over ~46 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.

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

$2,029/mo$24,349/yr

≈ $243 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$104,900 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,349 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$104,900	$2,029/mo	$24,349/yr
1/2 share	$52,450	$1,515/mo	$18,175/yr
1/3 share	$34,967	$1,343/mo	$16,116/yr
1/4 share	$26,225	$1,257/mo	$15,087/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.
