New Cessna Discount?
I recently made the mistake of selling my 182 and I'm looking to get into a new Turbo 182 or Cirrus (prolly the T182 as I'm intimately familiar with that plane)
Does anyone have any insight into the discounts available on new planes? How 'bout any real transaction prices for 2007 or new T182's? Thanks!

Cessna turbo
I had a student buy a Turbo Cessna 182 a few years ago. He made the statement that the turbo was useless east of the Rockies. If you plan to fly in the eastern U.S. you can save a big discount on maintance and the purchase price of buying a non turbo Cessna.

Cessna Turbo
Regarding the value and ownership of a Turbo vs Non turbo
The T182 tends to hold better resale value than the 182. production and sales wise there are about 2-1 turbos vs non built and sold. most 182 owners find themselves at the end of their ownership with a smaller market for their airplane because of the regional restrictions of the non-turbo. Maintenance on the new generation TC Cessnas is nominally higher $3-5/hour if flown correctly. On most flights the T182 and the 182 will burn the same amount of fuel, the T182 burns it faster but flies for less time. Currently Cessna is offering $30K off a 2009 182/T182 plus free SVT or TAWS-B or Chartview But what would I know.....

I regularly fly over the Appalachians where the weather settles in between 8 and 13. There are often mountain waves below 12 that can overpower a 182. Mid to high teens are far more comfortable.

There are low hour SR22's (Cirrus) out there cheap...like this turbo.
http://www.lonemountainaircraft.com/...stings/view/31 If you would like or need information about them let me know, I have had several and can tell you what to look out for. BTW, our 2007 SR22GTS @ 9000ft, 70% power running lean of peak burning 13gph knocks down 182knts...the 81 gallons usable last way longer than the wife's bladder! Not sure given the 182's 160knt cruise and the Cirrus parachute that this is a fair comparison. If I had to do it over again I would look VERY hard at the 400 Corvalis...there is something to be said about having Cessna in your corner. The Garmin panel is not as intuitive (IMHO) but it does have incredible capabilities and a better auto-pilot.

I have around 150 hours in a 2004 T182T. I love the plane, use it for all my cross countries. Such an easy plane to fly, G1000 great, comfortable, and the short take offs and landings a thrill. Down low the turbo only seems to help 5-10 kts. and it will be same speed as many older Skylanes and slower than RG's. I typically plan for 135 kts. for my non-oxygen levels. You really can't see the speed benefits of the turbo until WAY up. I guess this is how all turbos work, but my only experience is with this plane.
On the T182T you do have to be careful on weight, I forgot the useful load, but with 700 lbs. of passengers and a few bags the gas will only take you about 3 hours with reserves. Looking for a new plane I'm looking for 1,100 useful and something faster.
