What's a Cessna 195 worth?
Stock, unrestored 195s (Jacobs 245hp) commonly run $110k-$140k depending on hours and cosmetics; the Continental-powered 300hp 195B commands a bit more. A well-executed full restoration with modern upgrades is a different market and can push well past $200k, condition and polish outweigh hours here more than on any other model in this fleet.
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.
