Cessna 182 Aircraft in Oregon

The Cessna 182 Skylane is the four-seat, high-wing step-up from the 172 — a 230 hp single with a constant-speed propeller, greater useful load and a cruise around 140 knots. One of the most popular cross-country and backcountry singles ever built, it comes in the fixed-gear 182 letter series, the turbocharged T182 (~145 kt at altitude), and the retractable R182 Skylane RG (~155-165 kt).

Cessna 182 Price & Cost

How much does a Cessna 182 cost? Used 182 prices: $114K – $349K, average $223K (median $192K), across 12 priced of 12 active listings.

Cessna 182 Price Guide

Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.

Cessna 182 Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (12.5 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$7,750/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$20,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$160/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 1,700 hrs)$32,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

Budget the 182 as a step up from the 172, not as a trainer: the constant-speed propeller and 230-hp engine add prop overhaul and higher fuel burn, and the biggest single swing is engine time — a run-out Continental O-470 (early models) or Lycoming IO-540 (modern 182S/T) overhaul can rival a large share of the airframe's value. Fixed gear keeps the rest simpler than a retractable, so the buy decision is mostly engine status and avionics age.

Buying a Used Cessna 182

Buying a Cessna 182 comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The Cessna 182 Skylane is a four-seat, fixed-gear high-wing single produced since 1956 - a heavier, more powerful, more capable step up from the 172, and one of the most popular personal and family aircraft ever built. With around 230 hp and a constant-speed propeller, the Skylane hauls four adults with baggage and useful fuel at about 140 knots, making it a genuine cross-country and family airplane.

A long line across three engine eras. The 182 spans the early Continental O-470 Skylanes (1956-1976), the refined late Continental O-470-U cars (1977-1986), and the modern fuel-injected Lycoming IO-540 restart aircraft (from 1997). Engine, avionics, and airframe age differ sharply across these eras - identify which generation a listing belongs to before comparing price or capability, since a 1960s O-470 Skylane and a glass-panel restart 182 are very different buys.

Why the 182 is a step up from a 172. The extra power gives real load-hauling ability and stronger climb, and the constant-speed propeller and heavier airframe make it a more capable cross-country machine. It remains docile and easy to fly, which is a large part of its enduring popularity as a family aircraft.

Ownership focus. Whichever generation, engine time-since-overhaul and cylinder health lead the pre-buy, along with the constant-speed propeller, corrosion on older airframes, and (on restart aircraft) avionics condition and database currency. Nosegear and firewall condition are worth checking on hard-landed examples.

Buy it if you want a capable, docile four-seat hauler with real load and cross-country ability - and will match the engine generation (classic Continental versus modern Lycoming) to your budget and buy on documented engine condition.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna 182

About the Cessna 182 Skylane
The Cessna 182 Skylane is the premier four-seat Cessna piston — a step up from the 172 in power (230–235 hp), speed (~140 kt cruise), and useful load (~1,100 lb). Produced since 1956 and still in current production as the 182T, the 182 spans two engine families: the Continental O-470 (1956–1986, original production run) and the Lycoming IO-540 (1996–present, post-restart). The 182 is the standard aircraft for four-adult IFR cross-country — the most capable production Cessna piston below the retractable 210.
What are the main Cessna 182 variants and which should I buy?
Continental era (182 through 182R, 1956–1986): 230 hp O-470, carbureted, steam gauges — all similar in performance, so buy on engine time and airframe condition; the 182P (1972–1979) and 182Q (1977–1980) are the most common used examples. Lycoming restart era (182S, 1996–2001): fuel-injected IO-540, modern panel. Current production (182T, 2001–present): IO-540, G1000 eligible, full factory support. Turbo option: the T182T (2001–present) with TSIO-540 for altitude performance. Buy the 182T or 182S for the modern experience; buy the 182P or 182Q for Skylane utility at the lowest acquisition cost.
What are common Cessna 182 problems to look for?
Continental O-470 era: exhaust system cracks (a consistent issue on aging 470s), cylinder head cracking on high-time cylinders, and carburetor icing susceptibility. Lycoming IO-540 era (182S/T): fuel injection system maintenance (injectors, fuel servo); the IO-540 is well-understood with no notable systemic issues. Both eras: seat rail AD compliance (mandatory) and age-related corrosion on older examples. For 182S/T: verify the G1000 annual database subscription is current if equipped.
How much does a Cessna 182 cost?
See the live price range and median above. Continental-era 182s start in the five figures; 182S and 182T examples range significantly higher, and the new 182T is one of the most expensive piston singles in current production. Key cost drivers: year, engine time, avionics, and maintenance history.
How fast is the 182 and how far does it fly?
Approximately 140 kt cruise across most variants; range approximately 800–900 nm with standard fuel. The 182 is a genuine cross-country aircraft — meaningfully faster than the 172 and able to carry a full useful load without the 172's payload compromises.
182 vs 172 vs 206 — where does the Skylane sit?
Below the 182: the 172 (160 hp, fixed-pitch prop, ~115 kt, ~650 lb useful load) is simpler and less expensive. Above: the 206 Stationair (300 hp, six seats, ~150 kt, ~1,400 lb useful load, cargo door) adds payload and utility at greater operating cost and complexity. The 182 is the sweet spot for four adults and moderate cross-country missions.
Is the Cessna 182 still in production?
Yes — Textron Aviation currently produces the 182T (naturally-aspirated) and the T182T (turbocharged). Both are available new with factory warranty and G1000 avionics.
