How we read this price · 5 sources · researched 04/06/2026
Pre-owned median US$932k corroborated across AirCharterService, AeroCorner and AircraftCostCalculator (all cite the same ~US$932,000 average for the EMB 120A). Discontinued 1985-2001; near-zero current public for-sale inventory (Controller.com and Salvex both showed 0 EMB-120 listings on 2026-06-04), so a true asking/sold spread is not publicly visible. min/max US$650k-1.4M are an estimated condition band (high-time/cargo-converted airframes below median, lower-time passenger/ER examples above) anchored on the corroborated median, not on multiple live listings. Original list/new price varied by source/era (US$5.0M-7.5M-11M) and is NOT the pre-owned value. doc_usd_per_hour 2354 = AircraftCostCalculator variable cost/hr at 450 hr/yr, US$6.00/gal. limited_data flagged due to thin public listing inventory and absence of public year-by-year Bluebook values.
