ESTIMATED VALUE
What N383DC might be worth
Rough range$240K to $690K
A rough range for a 2021 single-engine piston airplane, with a middle of about $410K. From manufacturer-published new prices of comparable 180 hp single-engine piston airplanes, depreciated for age. It is not an appraisal and knows nothing about N383DC itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
