Buying a Used Cirrus SR22

Buying a Cirrus SR22 comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

With an SR22 the single biggest price driver is generation, because each one meaningfully changed the aircraft. After that it comes down to engine time, CAPS parachute currency and avionics.

What to check before buying an SR22

  • Generation — G3 added a wet wing (more fuel/range), G5 raised gross weight and added a genuine fifth seat, G6 brought Perspective+ avionics, G7 is the latest cabin/avionics update.
  • CAPS repack — the parachute and rocket need repacking every 10 years; an overdue or near-due CAPS is a major cost — confirm the date.
  • Engine time — Continental IO-550 time since overhaul (and any history of cylinder work).
  • Avionics — Cirrus Perspective vs Perspective+ (Garmin); ADS-B and IFR capability.
  • Maintenance & damage history — complete records; composite airframe repair history.
  • Pre-buy — use a Cirrus-experienced service centre (CSIP/authorised).

Which SR22 generation should you buy?

A G5 or G6 is the value sweet-spot — modern avionics and the higher-gross-weight airframe at a reasonable price. The G7 is the newest if budget allows; G2/G3 are the most affordable way into an SR22 if you accept older avionics.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cirrus SR22

How much does a used Cirrus SR22 cost?
Used SR22 prices range from about $150,000 for an early G2 to over $1,149,900 for a late G7, with a median around $363,000 across 278 active listings — driven mostly by generation and avionics.
What is the difference between the SR22 and SR22T?
The SR22T is the factory-turbocharged version of the SR22. It cruises faster (~213 vs ~183 knots) and performs better at high altitude (certified to FL250); the normally-aspirated SR22 is cheaper to buy and maintain for lower-altitude flying.
What is CAPS on a Cirrus?
CAPS is the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System — a whole-aircraft parachute that can lower the entire plane to the ground in an emergency. It is standard on every Cirrus and must be repacked every 10 years.
How many seats does the SR22 have?
Five — though the fifth seat became genuinely usable from the higher-gross-weight G5 onward.
How fast is the Cirrus SR22?
Cruise is about 183 knots on the 310 hp Continental IO-550; the turbocharged SR22T cruises ~213 knots.
Which is the best Cirrus SR22 generation?
The G5 and G6 are widely seen as the value sweet-spot; the G7 is the newest. Earlier G2/G3 models are the most affordable entry point.
