Cessna T182T Aircraft under $300,000
The Cessna T182T is the turbocharged Skylane — for owners who routinely fly high, hot, or over terrain and want the 182's load-hauling utility without losing power as they climb. A turbocharged Lycoming six-cylinder holds a 235-hp-class output and a roughly 150-knot cruise into the high teens, where a naturally-aspirated 182 is already running out of breath. The buy decision is whether your mission truly uses that altitude capability — because the turbo system is also this variant's defining cost and maintenance driver.

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 T182T cost? Used T182T prices: $265K – $299K, average $282K (median $282K); market reference $375K, across 2 priced of 2 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 defining cost on a T182T is the turbonormalizing system, not the airframe — wastegate, intercooler and exhaust run a hotter duty cycle and the turbocharged Lycoming carries less TBO margin than the naturally-aspirated 182. Budget top-end and exhaust work, and weigh whether your mission truly needs the high-altitude capability you are paying to maintain.
