The Skylane, more power and load than a 172. Use the free calculator below for an instant Cessna 182 value estimate, no account, no paywall. A four-seat workhorse with a 230hp engine, the step-up family and cross-country Cessna.
Beta: our value model is in active development and improves as we add real sale data. A guidance estimate, not a certified appraisal. Real value depends on damage history, logs, condition and a pre-buy inspection.
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.
