Logs & damage history, complete logs and no damage protect resale.
Corrosion & AD compliance, especially on older airframes; get a pre-buy from a type-savvy mechanic.
Avionics & ADS-B, confirm it's equipped; upgrades are costly to add later.
Model-specific: The geared engine scares off some buyers, keeping prices modest; examples converted to a standard O-360 or O-470 are worth notably more.
