About the Cessna Citation I
The Cessna Citation I is the original Citation business jet — a straight-wing, stand-up-cabin light jet that launched the most successful business-jet family in the world in 1972. Slower and smaller than later Citations, it is among the most affordable jets on the used market, and some versions were certified for single-pilot operation as the Citation I/SP. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna Citation I listings currently on the market.

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.
Buying a Used Cessna Citation I
Buying a Cessna Citation I is about the engines, maintenance programs and avionics as much as the airframe. Engine and airframe hourly-maintenance programs transfer with the aircraft and materially change both price and risk.
What to check before buying
- Engine status & program — time to overhaul/MPI and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly maintenance program (the biggest value driver on any jet).
- Airframe program & inspections — scheduled (Doc) inspections, airframe/parts programs and total cycles.
- Avionics & mandates — a modern glass flight deck plus required mandates (ADS-B, FANS) raise value and capability.
- Damage history & logbooks — complete, gap-free records and a clean accident history protect resale.
- Pre-buy inspection — a full pre-buy at a type-authorised service centre before money changes hands.
