Cessna 172 Skyhawk for sale in Canada
Prices vary a lot with engine time, avionics and equipment. Check the times and logbooks, and get an independent pre-purchase inspection before you buy.
What to check before buying
- Corrosion (especially on floatplanes and coastal aircraft), the firewall and lower-cowl area, spar and strut condition, the exhaust, and complete logbooks with AD compliance.
- Confirm engine time against TBO and whether it's been flown regularly, because a low-time engine that has sat is not the bargain it looks like.
