The Cessna 560 in brief

The Cessna 560 listings cover the Citation V, Ultra and Encore, and the larger-cabin Citation Excel, XLS and XLS+ built under the same type certificate.

Charter operators and owners buy them for a stand-up cabin on the Excel line and a reputation for dependable, economical light-midsize flying.

207 Cessna 560 listings are for sale across the sites Sprinkle reads as of Nov 12, 2026, built 1989–2025.

The middle half were built 1999–2009.

How the Cessna 560 performs

The straight-wing Citations trade top speed for short-field ability and simple handling. The Excel family pairs that wing with a wider cabin, and the XLS+ adds FADEC engines and newer avionics.

By the catalog, the fastest variant cruises at 446 knots.

The longest book range across its variants is 2,500 nautical miles: still air, no reserves.

It seats up to 14 passengers.

Buying a Cessna 560

Variants under this page differ widely, so compare a Citation V against its own line and an Excel against Excels. Engine program enrollment and inspection due dates then set much of the asking price.

The middle half of US-dollar asks run $1,750,000–$4,283,750, around a median of $2,490,000, from 28 priced listings. Asking prices, not sales.

The middle half of those that publish airframe time show 3,511–8,944 hours, from 143 listings.

Before an offer, check

  • Engine program enrollment for both engines, and what it covers.
  • Due dates of the next phase inspections and the landing gear overhaul.
  • Avionics: which suite is installed and what upgrades it has had.
  • A pre-buy inspection by a mechanic who knows the type, chosen by you, not the seller.
  • Complete logbooks for the airframe, engines and propellers, with any gaps explained.
  • Damage history and any repairs, against the logbooks and the registry record.
  • Engine time against the overhaul interval, and the shop that did the last overhaul.
