1982 Cessna T182 Skylane
II Fixed Gear with factory 4 place oxygen. Only 237 182's were produced in 1982
and less than 100 were fixed gear. This one is going to be the only one in
existence in this condition with this total time. This is truly a one of a kind
airplane. You can view the history and pictures in my online photo diary at: NOTE:
The pictures on this site are not the latest with the JPI Engine monitor in
place, so please contact me and I can provide you with details and pictures
with recent upgrades etc...
Are
you looking for a BRAND NEW Cessna 182 Turbo at 1/2 the price? Look no further;
this is a true barn find and the lowest total time T182 in the world with only
375 TT hours. This airplane has wet wings and an 88 gallon fuel capacity. The 182 is a work horse and has a useful load that will allow for four adults, fuel and baggage that is way better than a 172. The service ceiling is 22,000 feet and with the turbo you can land at any airport in the world for the most part. If you are not familiar with a turbo charged aircraft, what it means is that you can maintain sea level manifold pressure at any altitude, so departing at a lower altitude airport, you only need about half throttle and as you climb you increase throttle to maintain that same pressure. The airplane flys the same at 10,000 feet as it does at sea level. I can climb out at 1,200 FPM and maintain that same performance all the way up to my cruise altitude. With a normally aspirated airplane, the higher you fly, the less power you have. I bought this gorgeous airplane in November 2009 and have had her
for almost 5 years now. I am the second owner and the original owner had her
hangar’d in El Monte, CA and now still in southern CA so in a hangar and in Southern
California all of her life. Take a close look at the pictures and you will find
that she has the original paint which is a 10 and the interior
is also a 10. I had the wheel pants painted a couple of years ago to match the
paint scheme and to add some color to them, other than that everything is
original except for upgrades listed.
I
have gone through this entire airplane with a fine tooth comb and she is
perfect in every way. I evaluated and overhauled and or calibrated every
instrument so they worked perfectly. I am a true perfectionist and like
everything to work the way it should. The auto pilot is the factory NAV-300 with heading bug. The entire interior was removed and all
plastics painted. All the screws are new, all the blue vinyl was replaced and
the interior has been restored to original NEW condition. Here is a short list
of everything that has been done to the airplane.
This
airplane has ZERO corrosion and is just like a brand new airplane in every way. Complete LOGS, NO damage history. New owner will also get an EZ electric tug and a full set of Kennon window shades.

All annual inspections
have great compression's and the motor has had the oil analyzed twice with no
issues whatsoever. When I acquired her she had 263 TT and now 375 TT, this is
TT on everything and the original motor being the 235 HP
Turbo. Other than the six rocker cover gaskets that were changed, the motor is 100% solid and dry with no issues at all. My A&P said I should easily expect full TBO out of this motor which is 2000 hours.
You
are welcome to conduct a pre-purchase inspection; I challenge you to find
anything that she needs. Next Annual is due in January 2015 I believe. This is
the nicest airplane I have ever flown, the 182 has been touted as the best
airplane that Cessna has ever produced and when you fly this airplane you will
know why. I absolutely love this airplane and selling her is with a heavy
heart, but I just don’t fly enough anymore to justify the upkeep and storage
etc… You can find a 1980’s model 182 for less money, but you will never find
one like this. I realize that my pricing for this airplane is more than any
other 1980's model 182 on the market, and my answer to that is, "of course
it is" because it's the nicest 182 you will ever find, so you should
expect to pay more for it. There are other financial reasons to purchase this airplane over a 90's model restart, first off is insurance, I am not sure what a newer model will cost for a policy, but I only pay $1,100.00 per year, plus in 2 years this airplane will be considered a classic and you will not have to pay property tax which will save you about $1,5000.00 per year. Please don't send me low ball offers, I am willing
to look at any reasonable offer, but I know what I have here, which is the only
one on the planet in this condition. The person who buys this airplane will
understand how much a new airplane costs and compare it to this one. I would
truly compare this to a new airplane at double the price. I have ALL logs from
day one, no damage history of any kind. This airplane has never even had a hard
landing. When I got this airplane, she didn't need much and everything I did
was purely to enhance the quality of the airplane to make her even more
pristine than she already was. Please contact me with questions.
