RADAR ESTIMATE
What N204CA is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation I/SP on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N204CA's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N204CA
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
The airframe bearing tail number N204CA is a 1978-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial number 501-0283, registered in the United States. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Vee Two Inc, a corporate owner based in Merritt Island, Florida, and appears on civil registers with that corporate operator as its home base. Registration and listing activity tied to Vee Two Inc is the most recent notable ownership entry for this airframe.
Operations & Cabin
The specific airframe is configured in a reported six-seat executive layout suitable for short- to mid-range business missions where seating density and cabin comfort for a small party are priorities. Broker information lists an avionics upgrade to an Avidyne 550, indicating a modernization of navigation and flight-management capability that can support contemporary IFR and cross-country operations. With a cruise speed of 357 kts and a range of 1,328 nm, typical missions for this aircraft under its Merritt Island, FL operator would include regional business shuttle flights, multi-state travel, and point-to-point executive transport. The twin JT15D engines and 41,000 ft ceiling make it appropriate for fast-climb profiles and operations above much commercial traffic, while ownership by a corporate entity suggests utilization for company transport rather than public charter.
Model & Market Context
As a member of the early Citation family, the Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light business jet niche offering modest range and efficient twin-engine performance for owner-operators and small corporations. Prospective buyers and operators should consider the implications of older airframe maintenance, engine shop visit history, and avionics upgrade status when assessing resale value and ongoing operating costs for this serial-numbered airframe.
