Model & Market Context
This airframe, N253T, is a 2000-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5114. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is registered to BLUE LINK LLC, an LLC based in Bay City, WI, US. Built by Cessna (Textron Aviation), the airframe reflects the production configuration typical of the Citation Excel series from that era. Valuation records list the airframe at approximately $4,000,000, indicating a mid-life market position consistent with serial and build-year attributes.
The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a typical executive layout for the Citation Excel line, accommodating 7–11 passenger executive interiors with common 8–9 club seating layouts, and listed seating capacity of 13 for flexible configurations. Avionics installed are typical for the series, featuring the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite which supports standard regional and business-aviation navigation, communication, and flight management needs. Operated from its US registry and owned by BLUE LINK LLC in Bay City, WI, the airframe is suitable for short- to mid-range corporate and charter missions within its 1,847 nm radius and high-cruise speed of 429 kts. Maintenance considerations align with mid-life Citation Excel examples of the 2000 production year, including engine program compliance for the PW545 series.
The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a performance niche between light and midsize business jets, offering fast cruise speeds and transregional range for corporate operators and charter providers. Competing models in the segment historically include similarly sized jets from manufacturers offering midsize comfort with single-pilot capability options. Buyer and charter demand for a 2000-vintage Excel like 560-5114 typically reflects tradeoffs between acquisition price, proven Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics, and lifecycle costs tied to Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545 maintenance programs. Resale considerations for this specific airframe will be influenced by its registration history, cabin configuration, and the documented valuation of $4,000,000.
