How much does a Cessna Citation CJ1+ cost? Used Citation CJ1+ prices: $2.5M – $2.6M, average $2.5M (median $2.5M); market reference $2.5M, across 3 priced of 17 active listings.
Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.
The CJ1+'s dominant ownership cost is the FJ44-1AP engine program — FADEC-equipped (standard on the CJ1+), which makes power management simpler but means engine health and maintenance-program enrollment are the primary financial variable. Confirm whether each engine is on an hourly program and whether the program transfers with the aircraft. Standard phase inspections and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics database currency are the other recurring items; neither is unusual relative to the wider CJ fleet.
