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

$1,888/mo$22,650/yr

≈ $227 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$65,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $7,650 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Full ownership (sole)$65,000$1,888/mo$22,650/yr
1/2 share$32,500$1,444/mo$17,325/yr

1/4 share$16,250$1,222/mo$14,663/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.
