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 677 hrs since overhaul (SMOH) and the published 1,400 hr TBO for the Continental TSIO-520.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 677 hrs total time across ~46 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

Low-time for its age

This airframe has averaged about 15 hrs/year over ~46 years — light use for a personal aircraft. Fewer hours can mean lighter wear, but aircraft that sit also risk dried seals, corrosion, and stale fuel-system components. Ask how regularly it's flown and what the recent annual inspections found.

Annual inspection

Required every 12 calendar months. Read off the listing's stated annual-due date — confirm against the logbooks.

Annual inspection current through Jan 2027

The listing states the next annual is due Jan 2027 — roughly 4 months of inspection time remaining. Budget ~$2,500 for the annual when it comes due.

Damage history

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

This listing reports prior damage. Properly repaired damage does not automatically disqualify an aircraft, but it can affect value, insurability, and resale. Ask the seller for the repair records (and any FAA Form 337s / STCs), and have a pre-buy inspection focus on the repaired area and the surrounding structure.

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.

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $12,652 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

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.
