Daher TBM 850 Price Guide

What Impacts a Daher TBM 850’s Price?

Multiple things contribute to, and impact the ultimate sale price of a Daher TBM 850. If you’re shopping for a TBM 850 to buy, you are likely to have noticed that the value and condition of two aircraft can differ from one another – possibly even between two aircraft with the same year of manufacture. That’s partly because an aircraft’s value can depend on its maintenance record and log books.

The sale price of an aircraft must ultimately be negotiated between the buyer and seller, accounting for several items, including the model year; how the aircraft has been retrofitted and upgraded over the years; and also its maintenance condition.

In relation to a turboprop’s maintenance condition, it’s important to look more deeply than any obvious signs of surface wear and corrosion to the interior and exterior.

It’s also important to know when a TBM 850’s next scheduled overhaul or major inspection is due, which will tend to be expensive and need to be budgeted for. Relating to upcoming maintenance, buyers should also find out whether the turboprop’s engine is enrolled on an hourly engine maintenance program that transfers to the buyer with the aircraft upon completion of the sale.

Why Does the Daher TBM 850 Fleet for Sale Number Matter?

The number of Daher TBM 850s for sale provides a valuable insight on the pre-owned market. When less than 10% of the fleet is for sale at any one time, aircraft sellers tend to hold a stronger bargaining position in relation to the aircraft’s value.

In contrast, when a larger percentage of the fleet is listed for sale (i.e. more than 10% of the TBM 850 fleet), buyers dictate sale prices more.

Overall, newer aircraft that are younger than five years old (still within the manufacturer’s warranty) are the ones traditionally commanding higher buyer interest in the pre-owned marketplace.

What Else Should a Daher TBM 850 Buyer Consider?

The costs of owning a Daher TBM 850 will be ongoing, and require a thorough budget. When planning this, buyers need to account for both the variable hourly operating costs and fixed hourly operating costs that come with owning turboprops.
