The Cessna Citation Mustang remains one of the most recognizable entry-level business jets in the private aviation market. Its combination of operating efficiency, single-pilot capability, and strong owner appeal continues to make it a highly active aircraft in today’s marketplace.
The Citation Mustang was produced from 2006-2017, offering a cruise speed of ~312 knots, a range of approximately 1,000 nautical miles, and seating for 4 passengers.
This Citation Mustang Market Report – September 2026 provides a focused overview of current pricing, inventory levels, and historical market trends affecting buyers and sellers today.

Key Metrics
- Average Asking Price: $2,133,245.00
- Average Year: 2010
- Average Airframe Time: 2,927.3 hours
- # for Sale: 33
- % of Fleet for Sale: 7.0%
- Average Days on Market: 212 days
Market Insight
At 7.0% total fleet availability, Citation Mustang buyers have more selection than they did one or three years ago, but the additional inventory has not translated into broad pricing weakness.
Instead, asking prices have strengthened while average marketing time has improved. That combination suggests that the Citation Mustang market has been able to absorb additional supply relatively efficiently.
For sellers, however, individual aircraft positioning remains important. Maintenance status, engine program coverage, avionics, total time, cosmetics, and pricing can materially influence how an aircraft competes against the available inventory.
Citation Mustang Market Trends (12-Month and 36-Month Analysis)
Over the past 12 months, Citation Mustang inventory has expanded while pricing and transaction velocity have both improved. The longer-term data reinforces much of the same story.
Past 12 Months
- # for Sale: ↑ 8
- Average Asking Price: ↑ $43,000.00
- % of Fleet for Sale: ↑ 1.7%
- Average Days on Market: ↓ 48 days
What This Means
This combination is particularly noteworthy.
Ordinarily, increasing inventory can place pressure on asking prices and extend transaction timelines. Over the past year, the Citation Mustang has moved in the opposite direction: more aircraft are available, yet average asking prices are higher and average days on market are lower.
The charts on page 3 add important context. Asking prices declined through the first half of 2026 before reversing direction and climbing sharply into September. Average days on market also fell significantly in June and remain well below their September 2025 level.
Inventory has increased overall but remains relatively stable compared with the larger swings seen earlier in the year.
Taken together, the data points toward continued demand for the Citation Mustang platform even as buyers have gained additional selection.

36-Month Market Trends
- # for Sale: ↑ 10
- Average Asking Price: ↑ $94,000.00
- % of Fleet for Sale: ↑ 2.1%
- Average Days on Market: ↓ 18 days
What This Means
The 36-month charts on page 4 show that the Citation Mustang market has experienced meaningful fluctuations in both inventory and pricing, rather than moving consistently in one direction.
Average asking prices went through two significant periods of normalization during the three-year period before recovering. Today, average asking prices are not only substantially above those lows but approximately $94,000.00 higher than three years ago.
At the same time, there are 10 more aircraft represented in the market, yet average days on market are 18 days lower.
That relationship is important.
Higher inventory + higher asking prices + lower days on market suggests that the Citation Mustang market has demonstrated an ability to absorb additional supply without sacrificing pricing or transaction velocity.
Rather than pointing clearly toward either buyers or sellers, the longer-term data suggests a relatively resilient and balanced market.

Is it a Good Time to Sell a Citation Mustang?
Seller Takeaways
The current Citation Mustang market provides encouraging signals for properly positioned aircraft.
Average asking prices have strengthened over both the 12- and 36-month periods, while average days on market have declined.
That does not mean every Citation Mustang will command stronger pricing. Buyers still have more alternatives than they did previously, making aircraft-specific characteristics increasingly important.
Citation Mustangs with the desirable G1000 NXi upgrade, favorable maintenance status, fully paid engine program coverage, quality cosmetics, and appropriate pricing may be particularly well positioned to compete.
Is it a Good Time to Buy a Citation Mustang?
Buyer Takeaways
Buyers currently benefit from greater Citation Mustang selection without operating in a market characterized by broad pricing deterioration.
With 33 aircraft represented in the total market, prospective buyers have opportunities to compare aircraft across model year, total time, maintenance status, avionics, engine programs, cosmetics, and price.
However, strengthening asking prices and improved transaction velocity also mean desirable aircraft may not necessarily experience the same negotiating pressure that higher inventory alone might imply.
Understanding how an individual Citation Mustang compares with the rest of the available fleet remains critical when determining value.
What Is a Citation Mustang Worth in 2026?
The value of a specific Citation Mustang can vary materially based on:
- Model year and total time
- Engine times and program enrollment (fully paid)
- Maintenance and inspection status (36/48/72m Inspections)
- Avionics configuration and upgrades (G1000 NXi)
- Interior and exterior condition
- Damage history and pedigree
- Geographic location
- Competing aircraft currently available
A proper Citation Mustang valuation should consider not only today’s asking prices, but also comparable transactions, maintenance exposure, equipment, and how the aircraft is positioned against current inventory.
Citation Mustang Market Outlook
The Citation Mustang enters the latter part of 2026 with an interesting combination of greater inventory, stronger asking prices, and improved transaction velocity.
Over the past 12 months, eight additional aircraft have entered the broader market while average asking prices have increased approximately $43,000.00 and average days on market have declined by 48 days. The 36-month trend tells a similar story, with 10 additional aircraft available, asking prices approximately $94,000.00 higher, and average DOM 18 days lower.
The most recent pricing movement is particularly worth watching. As shown on page 3 of the report, average asking prices have risen sharply from their spring 2026 lows and currently sit at approximately $2.13 million.
Whether that pricing momentum can continue as inventory remains above year-ago levels will be one of the key trends to monitor through the remainder of 2026.
For now, the data suggests a resilient Citation Mustang market that continues to absorb additional inventory while maintaining pricing strength and relatively efficient transaction activity.
