Cessna T210M Price Guide

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.

Cessna T210M Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (17.0 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$10,540/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$24,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$185/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 1,400 hrs)$38,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

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.

Buying a Used Cessna T210M

Buying a Cessna T210M comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The Cessna T210M is a turbocharged Centurion - a six-seat, retractable-gear high-wing single with a 310-hp turbocharged Continental TSIO-520 and a service ceiling near 27,000 ft. Turbocharging lifts cruise to roughly 190 knots and holds power at altitude, making it one of the fastest, highest-flying piston singles Cessna built and a genuine high-altitude cross-country machine. Ownership centers on combined complexity: turbocharger and exhaust health, retractable-gear condition, and the 210's known airframe items must all be right at once. Against a normally aspirated 210 it adds altitude capability and speed; against a pressurized P210 it stays unpressurized but simpler.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna T210M

What is the Cessna T210M?
The T210M is a turbocharged member of the 210 Centurion family — a six-seat retractable-gear high-wing single with a turbocharged Continental engine, built in the mid-1970s, one of Cessna's fastest piston singles.
What is the difference between the 210 and T210M?
The T210M is turbocharged for better climb and cruise at high altitude, where the normally aspirated 210 is not. Both are six-seat retractable-gear Centurions.
How much does a Cessna T210M cost?
Used T210M prices vary with engine time, avionics and condition. See the live price range and median above.
How fast is the Cessna T210M?
The T210M cruises around 190 to 200 knots, and the turbocharger lets it maintain that speed at high altitude.
How many seats does a Cessna T210M have?
Six.
What engine does the Cessna T210M use?
A turbocharged Continental TSIO-520. Engine time since overhaul is a key value factor.
Is the Cessna T210M a complex and high-performance aircraft?
Yes — with retractable gear and a turbocharged high-power engine it qualifies as both complex and high-performance, requiring the appropriate pilot endorsements.
Is the Cessna T210M still in production?
No — 210 production ended in 1986. The Centurion is supported by a large used fleet and parts network.
