Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 32 Citation M2 aircraft for sale, including 14 off-market, representing approximately 10.5% of all M2s in service. While there are plenty of options available, the number of aircraft coming to market has leveled off since late last summer—a sign that sales are keeping pace with new listings.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $2,400,000 to $5,250,000, with an average 155 Days on Market. The wide price range reflects the differences between older, early-production aircraft and newer, later-build examples such as post serial number -1048 aircraft with the G3000NG avionics). In reality, buyers sort through the market quickly: newer M2s with engine coverage, low total time and clean histories continue to command premium prices, while older models compete mainly on affordability and cosmetics.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 35 Citation M2 aircraft have sold (including 8 off-market), transacting between approximately $2,500,000 and $4,750,000, with an average 161 Days on Market. Sales activity has been healthy and consistent, confirming the M2’s reputation as one of the most reliable and liquid entry-level light jets.
Key Takeaways
• Plenty of aircraft are available, but steady sales confirm strong buyer interest.
• Newer M2s are selling faster and for more money than older ones.
• The time it takes to sell closely matches typical market expectations—indicating fair pricing overall.
• Off-market inventory represents a significant portion of the market and influences what buyers are willing to pay.
• Engine programs, avionics upgrades, and upcoming maintenance requirements are the main factors driving price.
Key Insight
The Citation M2 market remains active and reliable, but pricing strategy is critical: sellers who price their aircraft realistically based on condition and maintenance status sell efficiently, while overpriced listings quickly fall behind in a competitive field.
