Typical buyers and charter operators value the combination of performance, eight-passenger cabin layouts, and established airframe support; resale considerations for a 2000-built example like 45-098 include avionics fit such as the Honeywell Primus 1000, engine TFE731-20 series hours/overhaul status, and any documented Part-135 utilizations.
