Tecnam P2002 Sierra financing FAQs
How much does a Tecnam P2002 Sierra cost?
Typical asking prices for a Tecnam P2002 Sierra run from about $50,000 for older or higher-time examples to $110,000 for late, low-time ones, with most trading near $75,000. 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 Tecnam P2002 Sierra?
At a $75,000 purchase price with 15% down ($11,250), a $63,750 loan over 15 years is about $600 per month at 7.75% APR, or roughly $573–$685 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 Tecnam P2002 Sierra?
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 Tecnam P2002 Sierra cost to fly per hour in fuel?
At about 5 gallons per hour and the September 2026 national average of $7.24 per gallon for 100LL, fuel alone is roughly $36 per hour, or about $0.31 per nautical mile at a 115-knot cruise. Add reserves, insurance, storage and the annual for the full picture.
Can I finance an older Tecnam P2002 Sierra?
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 P2002 Sierra.
