Cirrus Vision Jet Price: New, Used & Ownership Costs

The Cirrus Vision Jet, officially the SF50, is a single-engine personal jet. It is known for its airframe parachute and its pricing, which sits well below most other jets while still costing as much as a large house in many parts of the country. It is built by Cirrus Aircraft and sold through the company's network, with a used market that has grown as earlier aircraft change hands.

This guide covers the new G3 price, what used G2+ jets have been listed for, and the other costs a buyer should include. Prices for aircraft move with options, hours, and market demand, so treat any figure as a snapshot.

The current model is the G3. Two published sources give slightly different numbers, mostly because one lists the aircraft with available options and the other reports a single headline figure.

The final cost depends on the options a buyer selects. Interior, avionics, paint, and other choices change the total, so the best reference is a written quote from Cirrus or an authorized representative for the exact configuration you want.

Used jets are listed at lower prices than new ones, though not dramatically so for recent aircraft. Late-model aircraft with low hours hold their value, and older aircraft cost less.

These are asking prices from published listings, not sale prices. The 2024 aircraft in the table has 395 hours, and the two older ones are listed without hours in the label. Asking prices differ from final transaction prices and may drop after negotiation. A buyer should compare several listings, review the logbooks, and have an independent inspection done before committing.

The pattern is clear in the listings. A newer year, fewer hours, and a more recent version command more. The price gap between a 2020 and a 2024 G2+ is large, while the gap between a 2024 G2+ and a new G3 is smaller, which is why some buyers choose to order new.

The purchase price is only the beginning. Jet ownership brings recurring costs that depend on how often you fly and where you base the aircraft. Ask Cirrus, a broker, or current owners for specifics.

• Insurance. Premiums depend on pilot experience, the aircraft's value, and the coverage level. Insurers often set conditions on training.
• Training. Pilots usually take type-specific training, and many insurers require recurrent training.
• Hangar or ramp space. A jet needs a suitable airport, and a hangar costs more than a tie-down.
• Fuel. Fuel is jet fuel, and prices differ by airport.
• Maintenance. The aircraft follows a scheduled inspection program, and Cirrus offers service plans.
• Engine program. Turbine engines have overhaul or program costs tied to hours.
• Parachute. The airframe parachute system is inspected and repacked on a schedule.
• Subscriptions and databases. Avionics require regular data updates.

Before signing anything, ask these questions:

• What is the exact model generation and year, and which options are installed?
• What do the logbooks show about hours, inspections, and any damage history?
• Is the aircraft covered by a transferable warranty or service plan?
• Are there any open service bulletins or airworthiness directives?
• What are the total costs of delivery, training, and registration?

For a used aircraft, a pre-buy inspection by a shop that knows the type is standard practice. It is the best protection against a surprise after the sale.

Flying a jet requires the appropriate pilot certificate, ratings, and type-specific training. Rules are set by the FAA, so check FAA rules for the certificates you need. Insurance carriers often add their own training and experience requirements, which can affect both whether you can insure the aircraft and what you pay.

Owning an aircraft makes sense when you fly often enough to spread the fixed costs across many hours. For occasional flying, jet cards, charter, and fractional programs offer other ways to travel without taking on ownership. The economics are different enough that a buyer should compare them using their own expected flight hours.
