Interior Notes
New Airtex Interior. No, it's not leather but it's comfortable, quiet, and clean. Everything from the 2022 interior upgrade still looks new. Interior plastics on instrument panel and sidewall areas are in great condition. Plastics on upper areas of the cabin are mostly fine with some slight cracking on the A pillar plastics. A new owner may consider painting the upper plastics and headliner to change color from the original Cessna off-white - this would be an easy an inexpensive upgrade to accomplish.
Exterior Notes
Paint is generally glossy with good coverage. There's some minor wear on the nose, wing leading edges forward of the fuel tanks (from aircraft fueling), the wing struts, and landing gear strut covers. Logs show no evidence of a repaint, so the paint may be original. Although it looks too good to believe it hasn't been repainted during its lifetime.
