Cessna Citation II

Listing-based estimates for the 5 Citation IIs on Radar run from about $691.6K to $1M, with a middle estimate of $856K. They are rough estimates from public listings and market reports, not appraisals.

What moves the price of any one Citation II: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline; a Citation II with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.

Radar does not list aircraft for sale. It tracks all 380 US-registered Citation IIs by tail number, each with its registration record and a value estimate, so you can check a listing against the value of its build year and look up the aircraft's own history before you call.

380 Citation IIs are on the US civil aircraft register (FAA file of October 2026), built 1950 to 1994. Aircraft registered in other countries are not counted. Radar has a page for each US registration.

The Citation II's published range is 1,220 nautical miles (1,404 statute miles), with published reference range for the type. The reference does not specify payload, cruise or reserve assumptions. Actual range depends on configuration and conditions.. Winds, payload, cruise speed and the reserves a flight carries change what a given trip can do.
