After Cessna invented the Entry-Level Jet market with the original Citation 500 (certified in 1970), and again with the CitationJet (certified 1992), the buying public was poised when Cessna yet again re-defined the category with its Citation Mustang.

The Citation Mustang jet is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F engines, while in the cockpit it utilizes a Garmin G1000 flight panel certified for single pilot operation. Cessna stopped producing the Mustang in 2017 and instead focussed on Citation M2 production. Therefore, prospective buyers will be shopping the pre-owned aircraft marketplace when selecting the right Citation Mustang jet for them.

How much does a Cessna Citation Mustang cost?

The cost of a Citation Mustang will vary, and there are several things that determine its value.

For example, an ask price should factor the year a particular aircraft was produced; the number of hours and/or flight cycles flown by the engines and airframe; any value-enhancing/cost saving avionics modifications and upgrades; and the time remaining on the engine/airframe before the next major maintenance event is due.

Also, over- or under-supply of Cessna Citation Mustangs on the used jet market at any one time will impact an aircraft's value.
