Where can I find a Cessna Citation X for sale?
Every Cessna Citation X PlaneFox can see is on this page — 8 of them, gathered from the broker and dealer sites it re-reads continuously. Most are listed in United States (3), followed by Germany (1). Each listing links straight through to the seller, so a Cessna Citation X in another country is worth considering rather than filtering out.
What should I check when buying a used Cessna Citation X?
On a used Cessna Citation X, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Cessna Citation X

Aircraft overview

The Cessna Citation X is the Model 750 business jet developed by Cessna, now part of Textron Aviation. It first flew on 21 December 1993, entered customer service in 1996 and remained in production until 2012. It sits in the super midsize to large cabin business jet category, with a design centered on high subsonic cruise speed and transcontinental range. The aircraft matters in the used market because it offers long established support, a large installed fleet and a distinct mission profile: moving six to nine passengers quickly over longer city pairs than smaller Citation models can comfortably cover.

Performance & specifications

The Citation X is known for its high speed cruise capability, with a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.92 and typical high speed cruise around the low 500 knot range. Published range is commonly listed at about 3,070 nautical miles, depending on payload, reserves and operating conditions. The aircraft has a certified ceiling of 51,000 feet and a maximum takeoff weight of 36,100 pounds on the original production model. Useful load varies by serial number and equipment, but is typically in the area of 14,000 pounds. Power comes from two Rolls-Royce AE 3007C series turbofan engines mounted on the rear fuselage.

Cabin & avionics

The Citation X cabin is usually arranged for eight or nine passengers, with some layouts seating more. Typical interiors include a forward galley, club seating, a side facing seat or divan option and an aft lavatory. Cabin dimensions are approximately 23.9 feet long, 5.5 feet wide and 5.7 feet high, giving it more cabin volume than midsize Citation aircraft but less than later large cabin competitors. The original flight deck is based on the Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics suite, not Garmin Perspective or G1000. Buyers will commonly see aircraft upgraded with modern navigation, ADS-B compliance, WAAS/LPV capability, weather and cabin connectivity improvements.

Buying & value

Used Citation X aircraft are valued for speed, range and operating history, but condition and maintenance status drive pricing. Important review items include engine time and program coverage, major inspection status, landing gear compliance, pressurization history, corrosion findings, avionics upgrade level and records for service bulletins. Common market distinctions include early and later production aircraft, winglet-equipped examples and heavily refurbished cabins. The Citation X+ is a separate later development with Garmin G5000 avionics and updated engines, so it should not be treated as the same model when comparing values.
