Radar's rough range is about $10M to $18M for a 2026 and $4.4M to $14M for a 2015. From Radar's listing-based estimates for business jets of similar engine thrust and age. These are rough ranges, not appraisals: hours, engines, damage history, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
What affects the price of a Praetor 500?
What moves the price of any one Praetor 500: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks.
