ESTIMATED VALUE

What N197BD might be worth

Rough range$190K to $750K

A rough range for a 1996 piston twin, with a middle of about $370K. From manufacturer-published new prices of comparable piston twins, depreciated for age. It is not an appraisal and knows nothing about N197BD itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
