Cessna T182 Aircraft (Turbo Skylane)
The Cessna T182 is the turbocharged Skylane — a 235-hp-class turbocharged Lycoming that holds power and a ~150-kt cruise into the high teens, where a normally-aspirated 182 fades. It is the carbureted-era forerunner of the modern T182T, sharing the high-altitude mission for owners who fly mountains, hot-and-high strips or over weather. The buy decision is turbo-system upkeep versus how often you actually use the altitude capability.

| 182 | 1956–now | 4 | 140 kts (259 km/h) | 640 nm (1,185 km) | 1,110 lbs (503 kg) | — | Choose the fixed-gear 182 for the simplest, most affordable and best-supported Skylane — the definitive four-seat travelling single. Choose the R182 Skylane RG for retractable-gear speed at the cost of added gear maintenance. Choose the T182 / TR182 if you regularly fly high or out of high-elevation airports and need turbocharged performance. | 2 |

How much does a Cessna T182 cost? Used T182 prices: $147K – $530K, average $325K (median $370K), across 11 priced of 13 active 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.
The T182's primary cost driver is the turbocharged O-540: higher overhaul cost than the naturally aspirated engine, turbocharger inspection as a separate line item (wastegate, turbine housing, intercooler), and around 13 gph fuel burn. Against the TR182, the T182 saves the retractable-gear maintenance cost - a genuine ongoing saving. The fixed-gear airframe is otherwise straightforward, with annual inspection consistent with the broader Skylane fleet.
