A friend of mine has bought a C182 with the canard kit and a Garmin 500 (has to be N-reg). It gets airborne in under 100m. It's a very capable utility aircraft.
Sounds amazing, though a C182 is not going to be as efficient as a more "normal" 4-seat tourer, so
sounds about right.

Thanks, the description was unknown to me. I have already seen there are upgrade kits for these aircraft in several areas, I have not spent any time in putting me into these.
Has been a bit busy, but took a look at "controller.com" today at Cessna 182S
There are four aircraft where the asking price is from $ 125-139 and four that do not have any price indication, call!
Feel it is more aircraft with lower prices now compared to earlier this year, I choose to believe that in any case

Do your homework and make sure the one you chose is not affected by the crankshaft AD which is coming due now for many of these aircraft. The crank kit alone is over 12K USD from Lycoming

Wouldn't that be nice, but no, it is the price of the crankshaft, main bearings and seals alone. Since most of those aircraft that are due now, or coming due soon are mid time to TBO and beyond, it wouldn't make much sense to only replace the crank. A major overhaul, or replacement with a factory rebuilt engine would be in order. About 34K exchange for the rebuilt.

Yes, it must be replaced as per the Airworthiness Directive, 12 years from date of service entry, or 2000 hours.
As far as I understand there have been no actual failures.

Shopping Plans still in progress! Good times for the purchase of used aircraft, according to aviation magazines.

The Perfect Time to Buy Used
For buyers these are great times to be in the hunt for an airplane that's gotten some gentle use and good care. But for sellers, faced with an economic need to relinquish the airplane they've enjoyed and nurtured, often for years, the times aren't so good.

I found this article to focus a lot on purchase price, and not so much on yearly costs. Maybe those are trivial in the USA ?
Anyway,
not a lot of post-1996 C182 S on the European market today.
And prices are still way too high...

Sorry, there is much that is new to me here so I have to ask! What is this?

These things have been designed for backcountry flying and serious lifting out of very short runways. They also have amazing maneuverability in slow flight.
IIRC the one I flew did about 135kts @ 8-9k ft @ about 12 USG/hr.
Btw, the one I flew has been seriously upgraded since (Garmin 430/530, paint, interior) and I think is for sale at the moment. PM me if interested.
