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).

How much does a Cessna 182 cost? Used 182 prices: $104K – $524K, average $249K (median $229K), across 48 priced of 92 active listings.
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.
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.
