Ownership Analysis
The TBM 700C1, introduced in 2003, is a later version of the original TBM 700 pressurized single-engine turboprop, powered by the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-64 (700 shp). The C-series introduced structural and cabin refinements over earlier 700s and preceded the more powerful TBM 850.
As an out-of-production TBM, the 700C1’s value depends heavily on engine time, program status, and avionics upgrades; many examples have been retrofitted with modern Garmin panels. Pressurization system condition is another key variable.
The TBM line’s strong brand and Daher support keep lender confidence reasonable, though underwriting weighs engine status and the specific airframe’s history. Loan terms fall under the Turboprop & Jet tier.
