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

$1,988/mo$23,850/yr

≈ $239 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$185,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,850 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$185,000	$1,988/mo	$23,850/yr
1/2 share	$92,500	$1,494/mo	$17,925/yr
1/3 share	$61,667	$1,329/mo	$15,950/yr
1/4 share	$46,250	$1,247/mo	$14,963/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.
