N85VR

The airframe bearing tail number N85VR is a factory-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 constructed in 2001 with serial number 525-0425. The aircraft is owned by C&M LEASING LLC, an Arizona-based limited liability company located in Scottsdale, AZ, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe is recorded with standard documentation for the type and carries an estimated market valuation of $1,650,000. Ownership is listed to a single LLC lessor based in Scottsdale, reflecting a typical leasing/operator arrangement for light business jets of this vintage.

This airframe is configured with a typical five-passenger executive club layout in the cabin while the registry lists 8 seats, indicating either supplemental belted lavatory or auxiliary seating provisions. Avionics are noted as the common original fit, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, with industry-recognized options for Garmin retrofit STCs available should an operator pursue modernization. The aircraft’s performance—moderate range and high cruise speed—suits short to mid-range business missions, point-to-point charters, and corporate shuttle operations out of its Scottsdale home base. Maintenance considerations align with CitationJet CJ1 fleet norms, particularly attention to the two Williams FJ44-1A turbofans and avionics retrofit pathways that prospective operators or lessors may evaluate.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light business jet niche, offering high single-pilot capability, economical operating costs for its class, and cruise speeds around 381 kts with a practical mission range of 1,266 nm. Competing models target similar short-to-medium missions; resale value for a 2001 airframe such as 525-0425 depends on maintenance history, avionics fit, and interior configuration, all of which materially affect the marketable $1,650,000 valuation. The presence of Pro Line 21 and available Garmin retrofit STCs can influence buyer interest and lifecycle maintenance planning for operators and lessors.
