Piaggio P-180 Avanti II Price Guide

What Impacts a Piaggio Avanti II’s Price?

Different factors can combine to effect the price of individual Piaggio Avanti II turboprops. Those in the market for an Avanti II will have seen that the value and condition of one aircraft can differ significantly from another – even between two models of the same vintage. An aircraft’s value can also be directly impacted by its maintenance condition.

When examining a turboprop’s maintenance condition, buyers should look further than the obvious signs of wear and tear, focusing on the interior and exterior alike for less obvious signs of corrosion and other potential problems.

Prospective Avanti II buyers should also know when the aircraft’s next overhaul or major inspection is due, and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly engine maintenance program to cover the cost of these. If they are not, then further price discussions will take place to account for the likely cost of the maintenance event.

The price of a pre-owned Avanti II should be negotiated between the buyer and seller, accounting for these factors, and others, including the configuration of the interior, as well as how it has been modified and upgraded since new.

Why Does the Piaggio Avanti II’s Fleet for Sale Number Matter?

The number of Piaggio Avanti IIs for sale is important because of the way supply and demand impacts the pre-owned turboprop market.

When only a small percentage (usually less than 10%) of the fleet is for sale at any one time, sellers traditionally have a better command on the sale price. When a larger percentage of the fleet is listed for sale (i.e. more than 10% of the Avanti II fleet), buyers hold more bargaining power.

What Else Should a Piaggio Avanti II Buyer Consider?

The costs continue after the original purchase of a Piaggio Avanti II, and when planning a budget, buyers should factor both the variable hourly operating costs and the fixed hourly operating costs associated with owning a turboprop.

Among those costs is fuel, hangarage, pilot salary, insurance, tax, maintenance and more.
