Cessna 182Q Aircraft in Washington
Washington State has the Pacific Northwest's GA hub at Boeing Field (Seattle), Renton and Paine Field. Boeing's home market means significant aviation infrastructure including overhaul shops and specialty service centres. Flying terrain ranges from coastal to high-desert (Yakima/Tri-Cities) to mountain (Cascades).
The Cessna 182Q is the late-1970s to early-1980s (1978-1982) carbureted Continental O-470 Skylane — the value tier of the original run. Over a 182P or 182R the buy case is year, total time and panel/engine condition rather than performance, since all O-470 Skylanes load and cruise alike (~140 kt, four adults). A sensible pick for proven 230-hp utility at the lowest entry price, without fuel injection or glass.

Choose the T182 / TR182 if you regularly fly high or out of high-elevation airports and need turbocharged performance. | 2 |

How much does a Cessna 182Q cost? Used 182Q prices: $144K – $199K, average $177K (median $189K); market reference $220K, across 3 priced of 4 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.
The O-470-U's operating economics are consistent across the classic Skylane family: approximately 12 gph, moderate overhaul cost, and a strong parts network. Annual inspection costs are minimal for a fixed-gear four-seat aircraft. As a late-1970s/early-1980s airframe, the 182Q typically needs less one-time reconditioning than earlier letters. Ongoing costs afterward are among the lowest for a 230-hp four-seat piston single.
