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 182S's IO-540 burns approximately 12-13 gph, with moderate, well-established Lycoming overhaul cost and no carburetor to inspect. Avionics maintenance depends on the panel - earlier restart examples may have simpler avionics than a G1000-equipped 182T, with correspondingly lower avionics-annual cost. Overall costs are consistent with the modern four-seat fixed-gear fleet; the IO-540 is a well-supported engine.
