Q4 Cessna CJ Review – CitationJet CE-525 Market

I have been monitoring the Cessna CitationJet market over the last 8 months and the asking price is going from $1.4-$2.5 million USD. The price variable depends on several details including engine maintenance program status, avionics, DOC 10 inspection status, damage history, ownership history, airframe time, and operating conditions and location.

These numbers are very different and to the manufacturer, it has a particular meaning under the Type Certificate issued by the FAA.
