Over half a million for a 25 year old one. http://www.controller.com/listings/f...ELL&mdlgrp=206 So it's like spending $15,000 for a car and then having to replace the engine for $2400. That's not so bad, relatively speaking. How much does it cost to replace a piston engine in a single-engine aircraft? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

Nope. It took me five months.  In my case, I paid $17,000 for the plane and paid $19,000 to replace the engine.
