Pa18-95

[494]

Hello All, I am looking at a PA18-95 and trying to get a feel for where the market is at on them. This one still has the C-90, mid-time engine, average fabric/overall condition, electric system, dual wing tanks, and 26" Goodyears. I know it really comes down to what the buyer wants to pay and the seller will let it go for, but I would really appreciate any feedback on what people are seeing for asking and/or selling prices.

Ours was rebuilt in the 90's . Has a 400 hour Ly con engine with no radios always hangared. We've had offers in the mid 50k range.

I have seen them in the mid $40s to mid $50s.

I just bought a 1953 PA18-105 tango for $32,000. Fabric has about 5 years left...engine 1350hr..has a few years left ... no flaps and toe brakes. I put about $6,000 in it for struts and engine goodies and misc. Its not a show plane but I love it and fly the pants off it every weekend. That is what I paid. Could be hi could be low but I am happy. Next upgrade is 29" tires when I can save a bit more money.

One of my buddies tracks these things carefully. I wish he would fly more and track less, but he found an 18-95 for $65K - stock, except for tundra tires, rebuilt engine, and original fabric!

In my opinion, these are fine trainers, but from the average $50k, subtract half for the necessary Dacron cover.

If I were going to get a Super Cub for student work, it would be the 18-95, although a Tango with heel brakes would be just as good, and usually cheaper.
