The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level super-light segment, prized for favorable runway performance, low time-to-market trip economics, and single-pilot capability in many configurations. Comparable competitors include other light business jets offering similar range and cruise numbers, with the CJ3 distinguished by its Williams FJ44 series powerplants and Pro Line 21 avionics in early-build examples. Buyers and operators typically evaluate used CJ3s on engine cycles, avionics upgrades, interior condition, and msrp-derived residuals—factors reflected in the reported valuation of $4,761,101 for this specific airframe.
