About the Cessna T310R
The Cessna T310R is the turbocharged version of the final, most refined Cessna 310 — a fast six-seat light twin with distinctive wing-tip fuel tanks, a long nose for extra baggage and two turbocharged Continental engines for high-altitude performance. It pairs the 310R's refinements with turbocharging, making it one of the most capable of the classic Cessna light twins. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna T310R listings currently on the market.

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 T310R
Every Cessna T310R faces a mandatory 1,400-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,400-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.
