FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
What is my aircraft worth in today's market?
Many factors go into determining the value of an aircraft. The year of manufacture, avionics, options, engine status and programs, maintenance status and pedigree, damage history or “stories”, and market demand all influence pricing.
We offer a free aircraft valuation that includes a market analysis, recently sold comparable aircraft, “competing” aircraft currently on the market, and other data sources to provide a solid forecast of what your aircraft will sell for in today’s market.
How do I determine the right asking price for my aircraft?
It’s important to balance current competitive pricing with overall market trends to ensure your aircraft doesn’t languish on market. No one wants to follow market pricing in a downward adjusting market. At the same time, you want to maximize the sales price.Â
