ESTIMATED VALUE

What N37281 might be worth

Rough range$8.1M to $31M

A rough range for a 2003 airliner, with a middle of about $16M. From Radar's listing-based estimates for airliners of similar engine thrust and age. It is not an appraisal and knows nothing about N37281 itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
