• 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: Fewer were built than the 206, so condition and engine time set the price more than year; real 2026 asking prices for stock 1963 examples ranged roughly $99k-$180k depending on hours and equipment. STOL kits and IO-550 conversions (the type's most common upgrade) trade as a distinctly different, higher-priced plane than a stock example.
