Get your cash offer — 2 quick steps, no obligation
The two-seater that taught half the country to fly is a tough airplane to sell retail — the money's small and the buyers kick tires for months. We're a direct cash buyer who closes in days. One offer, one closing, done.
More Cessna 150s and 152s were built than almost anything else with wings, and a huge number of them are now sitting: retired from a flight school, tucked in the back of a hangar after the owner moved up to something bigger, or half-finished as a project that ran out of steam. On a two-seat trainer the retail math rarely works — a fresh annual and an ADS-B install can cost more than the airplane brings. That's exactly when a cash sale makes sense. From a 1959 straight-tail 150 to a late 152 Aerobat, we buy every variant as-is — run-out O-200 or O-235, tired paint, corrosion, no cleanup required first.
Selling it yourself instead? Our complete guide to how to sell an airplane walks through pricing, paperwork, the pre-buy and escrow step by step — and how we work out what an airplane is worth explains the number.
"The entire process was smooth, professional, and faster than I expected. I recently got hired at an airline and didn't have time to manage the annual or deal with listing the airplane myself, but Cash4Planes made it super easy. We were able to close remotely on my schedule, which was a huge help. Overall, a great experience. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell their airplane quickly and hassle-free."
"Very professional transaction on the sale of my aircraft. Professional team that were straight forward and easy to do business with."
"Tom responded quickly, and followed up with positive choices to get cash for my plane. Thank you, won't hesitate to call again."
Contact Cash4Planes for a direct cash offer. We typically close in 5–10 business days with no broker fees, no listings, and no buyer financing contingencies. On a two-seat trainer that's usually the whole point — the airplane isn't worth months of showings.
Yes. The 150 and 152 share the same airframe family and we buy both, plus the Aerobat versions. From a 1959 straight-tail 150 to a late 152, we make cash offers on every variant.
Yes. A run-out O-200 or O-235, an expired annual, corrosion, or a panel with no ADS-B all affect the number, not whether we make an offer. You don't need to pour money into a two-seater before selling it — that's exactly when owners call us.
Absolutely. Retired trainers are one of our most common buys. High-time, tired paint, worn interior, deferred squawks — we buy them as-is for cash so the airplane stops eating hangar rent.
Yes. Closing runs through a licensed aircraft title company and funds are wired to you. One of our pilots or a trailer handles pickup — you don't need to be present. We buy 150s and 152s from sellers in every region of the country.
Mostly engine time, annual status, ADS-B and how it was stored. Paint and interior matter less on a trainer than owners expect. Send the tail number and we'll give you a real number based on comparable sales, as the airplane sits.
Usually not to sell it to us — we price the open items in and handle them ourselves. If you plan to sell it to a retail buyer yourself, an annual makes it far easier to sell; get a valuation first so you know it pays for itself.
