Gathering Cost Information for Dakota Purchase

in General Discussion

In the next 6 months I will be looking to purchase a Dakota. Several currently on sales sites have engines at TBO. What do I need to budget for a FOH or MOH? Also, what should I expect to pay for an annual? I know prices vary, but looking for some typical (if there is any such thing) budget numbers. Any assistance is appreciated. - Ben

    Hi Ben,
    The annual on my Arrow is $1300 plus whatever needs to be fixed. Regarding engine overhaul, can you get me an engine model? If so, I can get prices for you.

    Thanks Scott. It appears that the most common engine model is the Lycoming O-540-J3A5D.

    Hi Ben,
    I've put in a request for a quote from Airmark Overhaul. As soon as I receive the quote I'll forward it to you. Please Stand by.

    Here's the quote. It does not cover engine removal, shipping to the overhauler, reinstall plus any accessories that you may want overhauled. Good luck.
