What should I check when buying a used Commander 500 Shrike?
On any used Commander 500 Shrike, check four things first. Airframe hours: under 1,500 is low-time, 1,500 to 3,500 is mid-life, above 3,500 expect higher maintenance budgets and possibly an overhaul reserve. Engine time since major overhaul (SMOH): most piston engines are on a 2,000-hour TBO, so once SMOH passes 1,500 to 1,700 budget for the overhaul to come within the next 1 to 3 years. A piston overhaul typically costs 25,000 to 45,000 EUR, a turbine hot-section inspection 60,000 to 120,000 EUR. Avionics: a current Garmin glass panel (G1000 NXi, GTN 650/750, GFC 500/600 autopilot) adds real resale value, a steam-gauge panel means you should price in 25,000 to 60,000 EUR for a future upgrade. Damage history and corrosion: ask for the full logbook history, look specifically for prop strikes, gear-up landings and any structural repairs. Always commission a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) from an EASA Part-145 shop familiar with the Commander 500 Shrike, budget 1,500 to 3,500 EUR for a thorough PPI. Also verify the export certificate of airworthiness, EASA Form 1 paperwork and recent ADs/SBs are complied with.
