About the Cessna 310J

The Mooney M20K 231 is a four-seat, retractable-gear, turbocharged piston aircraft with a Continental TSIO-360 engine. Burning approximately 14 gallons per hour, the M20K brings turbocharging to the Mooney speed formula, enabling high-altitude cruise where the type excels.

Variable hourly costs average around $160, with annual fixed costs near $20,000. The M20K appeals to cross-country pilots who want Mooney speed combined with high-altitude turbo performance for long trips over weather and terrain.

Cessna 310J Price & Cost

Cessna 310J 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.

Buying a Used Cessna 310J

Every Cessna 310J faces a mandatory 1,500-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due.

What to check before buying

  • Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,500-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
  • Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
