About the Cessna 414
The Cessna 414 Chancellor is a pressurised cabin-class twin that sits between the smaller 340 and the top-of-line 421 Golden Eagle — a six-to-eight seater with airstair entry, club seating and two turbocharged Continental TSIO-520 engines. It pairs cabin-class comfort with engines that are less maintenance-intensive than the 421's geared powerplants, making it a popular owner-flown pressurised twin. It comes in two sub-families: the original 414 and the improved 414A Chancellor, which added a wet (bladderless) wing and a longer nose. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna 414 and Chancellor listings currently on the market.

Based on 19 priced 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.
Buying a Used Cessna 414
Every Cessna 414 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 $45,000 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.
