What moves the price of any one Challenger 601-3A: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline; a Challenger 601-3A with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.
