ESTIMATED VALUE
What N8717M might be worth
Rough range$34M to $94M
A rough range for a 2018 airliner, with a middle of about $57M. From Radar's listing-based estimates for airliners of similar engine thrust and age. It is not an appraisal and knows nothing about N8717M itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
