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: Stock, unmodified Skylanes hold value surprisingly evenly across eras, a well-kept 1960s 182 and a 1980s 182Q aren't as far apart as you'd expect, since the type's cult backcountry/utility following supports older airframes. But the 182 market has an unusually large share of individually modified planes: STOL kits and 260hp+ engine conversions (Peterson, Air Plains, Ly-Con), Garmin G5/G500/G1000 glass retrofits on older airframes, and the retractable-gear R182RG and turbocharged T182/Turbo Skylane variants all trade as distinctly different, higher-priced planes than a stock example of the same year, sometimes 30-100%+ above stock. Restart-era models (2001+) sit above the classics, and within any era, whether the panel and engine are original is the single biggest price lever.
