Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 16 Citation CJ3+ aircraft for sale, including 4 off-market, representing approximately 5.1% of all CJ3+s in service. Availability remains constrained relative to historical norms, with inventory trending modestly lower since fall 2025. Supply limitations continue to support pricing stability in the CJ3+ preowned market.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $7,690,000 to $12,300,000, with an average 120 Days on Market. The wide pricing band reflects meaningful differences in vintage, engine program enrollment, and aircraft total time. Late-build, low-time aircraft with good pedigree continue to anchor the top of the market, while earlier options are desirable for their price entry point.

This level of activity confirms sustained demand and positions the CJ3+ as one of the most liquid aircraft in the light-jet category.
