What's a Cessna 188 worth?

Value tracks spray-system condition, engine time, and airframe corrosion far more than cosmetics, these are tools, not showpieces.

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.
