As a Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ airframe, N490RM belongs to a family positioned for the light jet performance niche—fast regional travel for small groups. Competing models in the same market segment typically include other light-cabin jets offering similar cruise speeds and ranges. Buyer and charter demand for the CJ2+ often centers on operating economics, dispatch reliability, and lower ownership costs versus larger midsize jets; given the indicated market value of $3,500,000, resale and maintenance considerations will reflect airframe hours, engine cycles, and any undisclosed refurbishments for this specific serial 525A0300.
