What to check before you buy
Engine time & compression, hours since overhaul drive both price and your next big bill.
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: Demand outstrips supply, so clean airframes hold value hard; floats, STOL mods, and a fresh engine push prices well up.
