ESTIMATED VALUE
What N8972P might be worth
Rough range$190K to $500K
A rough range for a 1966 single-engine turboprop, with a middle of about $310K. From manufacturer-published new prices of comparable 310 shp single-engine turboprops, depreciated for age. It is not an appraisal and knows nothing about N8972P itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
