I sold my 182L earlier this year for $56,500. That was with a solid panel and relatively clean but 35 year-old paint/interior. The engine was also 35 years SMOH and starting to show it. First thing done after the sale was the installation of a new engine. So I imagine there is now $90-100k put...

Noted. I would contend that “70% of list price” actually provides a better gauge of the market with respect list versus sales price than any specific dollar amount would. Without an in depth knowledge of the specific aircraft, and given the variability in condition/upgrades of 50+ year-old...

As a point of reference, I recently sold my 182 for a bit over 70% of the original price I listed it for on Trade-A-Plane. List price seemed optimistic and was $12.5k over what I bought it for 2.5 years ago, but commensurate with other planes of its vintage listed on those sites (I did bring the...

Thanks for the additional recommendations. It is the interior handle that is having the problem. It will still engage the latch if I push it into the door prior to turning it, so I'm thinking the teeth may still be good. Might be something with the attachment clip that is failing to hold the...

Appreciate the replies. I had read through the linked thread that was posted. Good info, although I’m hoping that the newly replaced handle is still usable and just needs some minor work to reattach. I’m going to try to look at the mechanism that attaches the handle to the latch to see if maybe...

I’m having a repeat issue with the copilot side door handle on my ‘68 C182. A little over a year ago, a passenger pulled the door closed with it and then the handle would turn freely without engaging the latch. The repair was not cheap, but I figured it was old and the years of manhandling the...

Thanks for the inputs. The alternator was overhauled two weeks ago (just before install), and the voltage regulator is a brand new Plane Power solid state type installed with the alternator. Possible that I got defective parts, but I'm going to look more closely at the wiring and the install...

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. The shop that replaced the alternator two weeks ago told me they thought this was interference from the aeroflasher beacon when they did the work (Unfortunately, they aren't located at my home base; I had to divert into a different field when the previous...

Following up on this thread with a similar issue. I had an alternator failure in flight a couple weeks ago in my 182. The alternator and voltage regulator were replaced as a result. When I picked it up I noticed some momentary ammeter spikes after startup, but attributed that to the battery...
