What's a Cessna 140 worth?
All-metal '140A' models and clean, corrosion-free airframes bring a premium; fabric-wing examples vary widely on cover condition.
The biggest value drivers, in order:
Engine time (SMOH). Hours since major overhaul move the price more than almost anything, a fresh engine can swing value by tens of thousands.
Total airframe time. Lower-time airframes command a premium; very high time discounts the price.
Avionics. A modern glass panel adds real dollars; basic steam gauges are valued lower but cheaper to insure.
Damage history & logs. Clean, complete logs and no damage history protect resale value.
Condition, paint & interior. Cosmetics and a current annual round out the final number.
