ESTIMATED VALUE

What N473CS might be worth

Rough range$200K to $580K

A rough range for a 2016 single-engine piston airplane, with a middle of about $340K. 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 N473CS itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
