About the Cirrus SR22
The Cirrus SR22 has been the best-selling piston aircraft in the world for nearly two decades. A five-seat, all-composite single powered by a 310 hp Continental IO-550, it cruises around 183 knots and carries the CAPS whole-airframe parachute as standard. Since its 2001 launch the SR22 has evolved through seven generations (G1 to the current G7), each adding capability — more fuel, higher gross weight, and successive Cirrus Perspective glass-cockpit upgrades. It remains the default choice for owner-flown personal travel.

Buying a Used Cirrus SR22
Every Cirrus SR22 faces a mandatory 2,000-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $36,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 2,000-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.
