Beechcraft King Air 250 Price Guide

What Impacts a Beechcraft King Air 250’s Price?

Negotiating the sale price of a Beechcraft King Air 250 turboprop can be complex, and is usually determined by a combination of factors. King Air 250 buyers will understand that the value and condition of one aircraft can differ significantly from another, and could even be substantially higher or lower than models from the same production year.

The value of each aircraft should be agreed between the buyer and seller, accounting for the aircraft’s maintenance condition, age, configuration, and how it has been upgraded since new, since some upgrades may add value to the airframe.

When establishing a turboprop’s maintenance condition, buyers should delve deeper than the obvious signs of surface wear and tear, looking out for less obvious signs of corrosion and other potential issues that may be on the interior or exterior of the aircraft.

A key question King Air 250 buyers should get answered is when the next overhaul or major inspection is due, and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly engine maintenance program to cover the cost of the maintenance.

Why Does the Beechcraft King Air 250’s Fleet for Sale Number Matter?

The fleet for sale number matters to buyers and sellers of Beechcraft King Air 250s because it offers insights into market conditions.

When only a small percentage (for example, less than 10%) of the fleet is for sale at any one time, the market tends to become a sellers’ market, in which sellers have a stronger control over the sale price, assuming their aircraft has been well maintained. When a larger percentage of the fleet is listed for sale, buyers hold more bargaining chips.

What Else Should a Beechcraft King Air 250 Buyer Consider?

The cost of ownership doesn’t stop after the initial purchase of a Beechcraft King Air 250. Buyers should plan an operating budget that includes both variable and fixed hourly costs associated with turboprop ownership.

Among the many operating costs are insurance, fuel, maintenance, hangar rental, pilot salary, tax, and more.
