ESTIMATED VALUE

What N5204N might be worth

Rough range$120K to $350K

A rough range for a 2002 single-engine piston airplane, with a middle of about $210K. 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 N5204N itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
