Remarks

This 1962 Cessna 182E is priced to reflect its exceptional condition and extensive modernization. Unlike typical early‑model 182s that still carry original interiors, dated avionics, or aging paint, this aircraft has undergone a comprehensive upgrade cycle including brand‑new Duncan Aviation paint (2025), new interior and glass (2022), and a full Garmin avionics suite installed in 2024 featuring the GFC 500 autopilot, dual GI‑275s, and WAAS‑equipped 530W/430W. Additional enhancements such as LED exterior lighting, a new Concord battery, and long‑term professional maintenance by the same mechanic for over 20 years further elevate its pedigree. When compared to other 182Es on the market-many of which require significant cosmetic or avionics investment-this aircraft represents a turnkey, modernized Skylane with upgrades that would cost far more to replicate than the difference in asking price.
