Buy a Jet with Expert Guidance: Private Jets For Sale from Trusted Advisors

Private jets for sale range from $2 million for light jets to $75+ million for ultra-long-range aircraft. Pre-owned private jets typically cost 20-40% less than new aircraft. The total cost of buying a private jet includes the purchase price, pre-purchase inspection ($25,000-$75,000), and transaction fees. Our consultants help you find private jets within your budget and ensure market-accurate pricing.

Popular private jets for first-time buyers include the Citation CJ3+, Phenom 300, and Learjet 75. These light to mid-size jets offer excellent value, lower operating costs ($1,500-$3,000 per flight hour), and strong resale value. We help match your mission profile—passenger capacity, range requirements, and budget—to the right aircraft from our network of private jets for sale.

The private jet acquisition process typically takes 60-120 days from initial consultation to delivery. This includes sourcing suitable aircraft (2-4 weeks), due diligence and pre-purchase inspection (2-3 weeks), negotiation and contract execution (1-2 weeks), and closing/delivery coordination (2-4 weeks). Working with experienced private jet consultants can streamline this timeline and avoid costly delays.

Most buyers choose pre-owned private jets due to better value and immediate availability. Pre-owned jets offer 20-40% savings compared to new aircraft, while new jet orders can take 18-36 months for delivery. However, new private jets provide latest technology, full warranty coverage, and custom configurations. Our independent advisors analyze your specific needs, budget, and timeline to recommend the best option when buying a private jet.

A private jet consultant provides independent advisory services throughout the aircraft acquisition process. Unlike brokers who represent sellers, consultants work exclusively for buyers to find the best private jets for sale, negotiate fair pricing, coordinate inspections, and manage closing. Benefits include access to off-market aircraft, avoiding overpayment (typically saving 5-15% of purchase price), and professional transaction management. Since 1998, Private Jet Advisory Group has helped clients successfully acquire private jets with complete confidence.

Annual private jet ownership costs include crew salaries ($150,000-$500,000), hangar rental ($30,000-$100,000), insurance ($20,000-$100,000+), scheduled maintenance, and fuel. Operating costs range from $1,500/hour for light jets to $8,000+/hour for large cabin aircraft. We provide detailed ownership cost analysis during the consultation process to ensure you select a private jet that fits both your acquisition budget and ongoing operational capabilities.

Private jets for sale are listed on platforms like Controller.com, Aircraft Dealer, and private broker networks. However, the best opportunities—off-market aircraft with motivated sellers—aren't publicly advertised. As the established Private Jet Advisory Group since 1998, we maintain relationships with aircraft owners, brokers, and dealers nationwide to access both listed and unlisted inventory. Our clients benefit from comprehensive market coverage when searching for the perfect private jet to buy.

Yes, most private jet purchases are financed. Aircraft financing typically requires 15-20% down payment with terms of 5-20 years at competitive interest rates. Lenders include specialized aviation banks, commercial banks, and leasing companies. We coordinate with preferred aircraft financing partners and can structure transactions to optimize tax benefits. Whether buying a $3 million light jet or $50 million long-range aircraft, proper financing strategy is essential to successful private jet ownership.
