The Cessna Citation Sovereign has been produced since 2004 and has been very popular with both Aircraft owners and pilots. The Sovereigns fuselage is based on the same cross section as its faster brother, the Citation X. The sovereign is a better at short field preforming aircraft than the much faster Citation X and the cabin feels bigger.
The Citation Sovereign has been replaced by the Citation Sovereign + which has an upgraded Wing and winglets (Sometimes called Swooplets because they are so big) and newer avionics and an increased range. The specifications below are for the newer Citation Sovereign +.
When looking at the Citation Sovereign as a used aircraft there are a few things to consider. The first is that the aircraft was selected by NetJets, the pioneer of fractional aircraft, and as such when those aircraft are phased out I would expect a sharp decrease in resale values. You should consider the purchase timing or sale timing of your sovereign. Traditionally when a fractional provider such as Netjets gets rid of their fleet of aircraft there is often a huge drop in residual values of that aircraft type as so many of them hit the market. The second thing to consider is that many of the early Citation Sovereigns were sold in the South American market, many of which have not chosen to keep their aircraft on an engine program. Generally having an aircraft on an engine program is a good thing when it comes to selling your Citation Sovereign so this may be something to consider for a purchaser.
