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 402B

Every Cessna 402B faces a mandatory 1,400-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 1,400-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.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna 402B

Is the Cessna 402B a good cargo aircraft?
The 402B was designed as a light utility twin — popular with small cargo operators and Part 135 charter. Twin Continental TSIO-520 engines provide 260 hp each. Useful load of 1,800+ lbs with 8-10 passenger seats. Used prices of $80-150K are very affordable. Maintenance costs mirror other cabin-class twin Cessnas — budget $15-20K annually for inspections at a specialist shop.
What are the main maintenance concerns with the Cessna 402B?
Same as other twin Cessnas: crankcase cracks on TSIO-520 engines, landing gear rigging (annual requirement), exhaust system inspection, and corrosion. The 402B has a pressurization system that adds complexity. Use a twin Cessna specialist for all major maintenance. Engine overhauls run $35-45K each. The 402C (1979+) improved many systems and is preferred.
