N55VW

This airframe, registered as N55VW, is a 2000-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with manufacturer's serial number 560-5076. The airframe is recorded as owned by VARIETY WHOLESALERS INC (corporation based in Henderson, NC, US) and is listed in U.S. civil registry records with valuation and condition notes reflecting a late-model Citation Excel. The aircraft’s documented market value is $3,950,000, and registry entries emphasize its corporate ownership and typical executive-use configuration. No additional historical transfers or notable registry actions beyond corporate ownership are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of this airframe carries a typical executive 7–9 place arrangement in practice, while FAA listings show 13 certificated seats, reflecting that interior refits can alter usable layout and mission flexibility. Avionics are a Honeywell-based suite consistent with the original RE-100/Primus-style installations common to Excel-series aircraft, supporting standard corporate IFR operations and regional point-to-point missions. Operated from Henderson, NC, the aircraft’s profile fits short-to-medium-range corporate transport and on-demand charter roles, leveraging its 1,839 nm range and 429 kts cruise to connect regional business centers and leisure destinations. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe would follow typical Citation Excel schedules for the PW545 series engines and Honeywell avionics architecture.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and efficient regional performance, exemplified by this serial 560-5076 example. Competitors in its era included other light-midsize jets that target corporate and charter operators seeking transregional range and lower operating costs. Buyer and charter demand for Excel-series airframes is influenced by engine TBO status, avionics vintage (here, Honeywell RE-100/Primus-style), and interior configuration flexibility; resale considerations for this airframe center on its corporate ownership, certificated seating count, and the documented market value of $3,950,000.
