ESTIMATED VALUE

What N8970D might be worth

Rough range$5.1M to $14M

A rough range for a 2004 airliner, with a middle of about $8.4M. From Radar's listing-based estimates for airliners of similar engine thrust and age. It is not an appraisal and knows nothing about N8970D itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
