About the Cessna 402
The Cessna 402, 404 and 411 are Cessna's unpressurised utility and commuter twins — rugged piston twin-engine aircraft built to carry passengers and cargo on short routes. The 411 was the first of the family; the 402 became the volume model, widely used as a commuter and air-taxi aircraft and still flying regional routes today; and the 404 Titan is the largest, with more power and payload. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna 402, 404 Titan and 411 listings currently on the market.

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 402
Every Cessna 402 faces a mandatory 1,600-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $40,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,600-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.
