For model year 1994, improve- ments such as a standard four blade propeller and a cabin noise reduction system created another market sector. In this segment, around 180 aircraft remain in service. Of these, 13 units sold to retail customers in 2017, which is on par for the activity in 2016. This represents six percent of that segment. The average hold times for those aircraft that did sell was 197 days. Expect to pay between $1,400,000 and $1,600,000 for an aircraft of this vintage. Pricing in this segment has shown some softness in 2017 with a decline of around five percent.
The redesign of the B200’s interior occurred in 1999, as well as an increased TBO to 3,600 hours. The 1999 to 2003 segment contains approximately 190 aircraft. There were 21 retail sales in 2017, making up 11 percent of this segment. Sales were off by five units when compared to 2016. Average days on the market for those that sold was 147 days. Prices for an average B200 in this segment range between $1,700,000 to $1,900,000, which has declined only around three percent during the past year.
In 2004, the B200 received Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. This was a significant improvement over the previous avionics platforms. Because of this, there is a fairly
wide price difference between the 2003 and 2004 model years. This segment was produced during 2004 to 2007, and contains 158 aircraft with 13 sales in 2017, two more than 2016. Roughly eight percent of this segment traded hands last year with an average hold time of 247 days on the market. Pricing on a B200 in this segment is still relatively soft with values declining. Expect to pay between $2,100,000 to $2,300,000 for an average B200 of this vintage, which declined around four percent last year.
Another significant model change occurred in 2008 with the switch to Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 engines, resulting in the aircraft being rebranded as the King Air B200GT. It has an active fleet of 115 units. There were 12 retail sales in 2017, double of the previous year, representing 10.4 percent of this segment. The average number of days on the market for the aircraft that sold was a lengthy 449 days. Pricing on the B200GT is still soft. Expect to pay between $2,400,000 and $2,600,000 for an average aircraft. The B200GT market lost around nine percent of its value in 2017.
The final model segment was with yet another rebranding in 2011. Composite curved propellers, winglets, and Raisbeck’s Ram Air
In 2011, composite curved propellers, winglets, and Raisbeck’s Ram Air Recovery were added to the B200GT to make the new King Air 250.
