With a composite structure, a parachute and sports-sedan-like cabin ergos, the Cirrus SR22 is one of the most modern piston singles, demanding intensive training and aggressive maintenance. And with the earliest SR22 models nearly over 20 years old, there’s a larger variety of used models to pick from. But now is not the time to buy any SR22 on the cheap—Cirrus models are in demand.
The Fall 2022 Aircraft Bluebook lists a normally aspirated SR22-GS at $410,000, which is almost what it cost when delivered new back in 2010. Models with new engines, upgraded avionics and paint and interior mods sell for a lot more.
