What moves the price of any one Citation Sovereign: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline; a Citation Sovereign 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 294 US-registered Citation Sovereigns 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.

294 Citation Sovereigns are on the US civil aircraft register (FAA file of October 2026), built 2004 to 2021. Aircraft registered in other countries are not counted. Radar has a page for each US registration.
