Socata TB-21 Trinidad Aircraft under $200,000

Originally built by SOCATA, now part of Daher (TBM series).

Under $200k for a piston single is the mid-range price band — typically 1980s-2000s airframes, mid-life engines with reasonable run, GPS-equipped panels with ADS-B Out, often factory glass cockpit on modern variants (Cirrus G1/G2, Cessna 172 NAV-III). Solid value middle of the market.

The Socata TB-21 Trinidad is the turbocharged high-performance Trinidad for buyers who want a roomy European low-wing single with altitude capability and more speed ambition than the fixed-gear Tobago. It is more complex than the TB-10 because turbocharging and retractable-gear ownership change the prebuy. Compared with a Mooney M20, the TB-21 emphasizes cabin comfort and European-aircraft character over maximum efficiency.
