How much does a Cessna T210M cost? Used T210M prices: $199K – $511K, average $329K (median $309K); market reference $360K, across 9 priced of 10 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 T210M's turbocharged TSIO-520 burns in the high teens of gph and adds turbocharger and exhaust maintenance to the Centurion's retractable-gear system - the two defining cost centers. Turbocharged engines demand careful temperature management to reach TBO, and the hydraulic retractable gear needs regular inspection. Buy on turbo-system and cylinder/CHT history as much as time-since-overhaul; a well-managed T210M is a fast, capable six-seat single, while neglected turbo, exhaust, or overheated cylinders can be a major recurring expense.
