The Cessna Citation CJ3+ is one of the most reliable and efficient light jets in business aviation, building on the proven CJ3 platform with an upgraded Garmin G3000 flight deck and refreshed cabin. Single-pilot certified and seating up to nine passengers, it's a favorite among owner-operators and charter fleets for its low operating cost, short-runway capability, and dependable Williams engines.
The Jet Guys helps qualified buyers source, vet, and acquire CJ3+ aircraft through our dedicated acquisition consulting service. From the first market search through pre-buy inspection, negotiation, and closing, our team manages the transaction on your behalf.
The CJ3+ holds value well, supported by steady owner-operator and charter demand and a large active fleet across the CJ3 series. Pricing varies by year, total hours, engine program enrollment, and avionics or interior upgrades.

Pre-owned CJ3+ models typically range from around $6M for earlier examples to roughly $12M for near-new aircraft; the new list price is approximately $11–12M. Exact pricing depends on year, total hours, engine program enrollment, and avionics or interior upgrades. Contact us for current market figures.
Most light jet acquisitions run 60 to 120 days from initial search to closing, depending on inspection findings and financing. We guide you through each stage to keep the process moving efficiently.
We coordinate the pre-buy inspection with trusted third-party facilities as part of the acquisition process. We don't operate an in-house maintenance shop, but we have the outside resources — inspectors, attorneys, and tax consultants — to manage the transaction end to end.
The CJ3+ has steady charter demand thanks to its low operating cost, which can help offset ownership expenses. The Jet Guys doesn't 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 CJ3+?
Yes — it's often possible to locate off-market aircraft through our relationships and trusted aircraft broker network, which can widen your options beyond publicly listed inventory.
