The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light-jet niche as an entry-level, efficient business jet with twin Williams FJ44 turbofans producing about 1,900 lbf each, offering favorable operating economics for short-haul missions. Competing models target similar missions in the very light/entry-level business jet segment where buyer demand focuses on lower acquisition cost, operating efficiency, and support network availability. For a 1996 serial such as 5250142, resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program status, calendar and cycle-based inspections, and interior avionics updates—factors that directly influence market value around the stated $1,920,000.
