Rockwell Commander 112 financing FAQs
How much does a Rockwell Commander 112 cost?
Typical asking prices for a Rockwell Commander 112 run from about $35,000 for older or higher-time examples to $70,000 for late, low-time ones, with most trading near $50,000. Engine time, avionics, damage history and paint/interior drive the spread — confirm with a Vref or Aircraft Bluebook valuation and a pre-buy inspection.
What is the monthly payment on a Rockwell Commander 112?
At a $50,000 purchase price with 15% down ($7,500), a $42,500 loan over 15 years is about $400 per month at 7.75% APR, or roughly $382–$456 across the 6.99%–9.99% range lenders published as of September 2026. Principal and interest only.
How much down payment do I need for a Rockwell Commander 112?
Plan on at least 15% down for a single-engine aircraft built after 1960. Twenty-year terms are generally available on loans of $75,000 or more.
What does a Rockwell Commander 112 cost to fly per hour in fuel?
At about 10 gallons per hour and the September 2026 national average of $7.24 per gallon for 100LL, fuel alone is roughly $72 per hour, or about $0.51 per nautical mile at a 141-knot cruise. Add reserves, insurance, storage and the annual for the full picture.
Can I finance an older Rockwell Commander 112?
Usually, yes. Lenders finance piston singles without a fixed age limit, though pre-1960 aircraft may need a larger down payment and shorter term, and airframes over 10,000 hours are often excluded. Complete logbooks, AD compliance and a clean pre-buy matter more than the year on an older 112.
