About the Cessna 180F
The Cessna 180F is a member of the 180 Skywagon family — a high-wing, conventional-gear (taildragger) four-to-six-seat single from the 1960s, prized for short-field performance, rugged construction and backcountry and float capability. As the tailwheel sibling of the tricycle-gear 182, the 180F holds its value strongly. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna 180F and Skywagon listings currently on the market.

Buying a Used Cessna 180F
Every Cessna 180F faces a mandatory 1,500-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,500-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
- Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
