Challenger 650 Acquisition FAQ

How much does a Bombardier Challenger 650 cost?

Pre-owned Challenger 650s typically trade between roughly $15M and $28M depending on year and hours, with new list pricing around $32M. Exact pricing depends on engine program enrollment, total hours, and cabin configuration. Contact us for current market figures.

How long does the acquisition process take?

Large-cabin acquisitions typically run 60 to 120 days from initial search to closing, depending on inspection findings and financing. We manage each stage on your behalf.

Does The Jet Guys handle pre-buy inspections?

We coordinate the pre-buy inspection with trusted third-party facilities as part of the acquisition process. We do not operate an in-house maintenance shop, but we have the outside resources (inspectors, attorneys, and tax consultants) to manage the transaction end to end.

Can I offset ownership costs by chartering my Challenger 650?

The Challenger 650 has strong, established charter demand thanks to its cabin, reliability, and operating economics, which can help offset ownership costs. The Jet Guys does not directly manage aircraft, but we can advise on placement with a reputable management company through our industry relationships.

What should I look for when buying a used Challenger 650?

Key factors include GE engine program enrollment, total hours, inspection status, avionics configuration (Pro Line 21 Advanced), connectivity (Ka-band), cabin condition, and any damage history. We review all of this during the vetting process.

Are off-market Challenger 650s available?

Yes. With a large fleet, both listed and off-market aircraft come available. We can locate off-market opportunities through our relationships and trusted broker network to widen your options.
