Cessna Caravan

Radar's rough range is about $2.7M to $3.5M for a 2026 and $630K to $1.6M for a 1985. From manufacturer-published new prices of comparable 867 shp single-engine turboprops, depreciated for age. These are rough ranges, not appraisals: hours, engines, damage history, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.

What moves the price of any one Caravan: total time and engine time, engine overhaul status, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline shown on this page; a Caravan 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.

Radar does not list aircraft for sale. It tracks all 1,023 US-registered Caravans by tail number, each with its registration record and a value estimate, so you can check a listing against the value of its build year and look up the aircraft's own history before you call.

1,023 Caravans are on the US civil aircraft register (FAA file of October 2026), built 1985 to 2026. Aircraft registered in other countries are not counted. Radar has a page for each US registration.

The Caravan cruises at up to 186 knots true airspeed (about 214 mph), as published for the Cessna 208 Caravan.

The Caravan is certified to 25,000 feet for the Cessna 208 Caravan. Heavy aircraft climb there in steps as they burn fuel.

Up to 13 passengers, the most the type is published for (Cessna 208 Caravan). Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats, so a given Caravan may seat fewer.
